My list comes later than everyone else's this year because my list is clearly the best list. In case you were wondering.
2007, from the albums I heard and the concerts I attended, was a decent year for music. It was year where I heard many good records, but very few, if any, great records. 2007 lacked any masterpieces by established artists, though there were some sturdy additions to already established catalogues (Radiohead and Spoon come to mind). 2007 did see some new talents emerge (St. Vincent, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Marnie Stern) as well as other acts come into their own with breakthrough sophomore releases (Deerhunter, The Besnard Lakes). While it's certainly a little early to have any kind of definitive perspective on 2007, I think it was average but pleasant.
Creating a ranked list was a more difficult this year than in years past; my top ten were nearly interchangeable, all records that I liked (even liked a great deal), but without much particular difference in merit to distinguish them. That being said, I did take a shot, and my rankings this year were not based on my own subjective thoughts about "quality," but rather specifically on enjoyment and frequency of listens. I also didn't include EP's in the mix, unless they were clearly a companion piece to a record.
