First off, you'll find an alphabetically organized list of albums that I deemed listenable in 2007. If you don't see it on this list, I either didn't hear it or I didn't thing it was list worthy. Also, any title that is in <strong>BOLD</strong> is a late addition that I accidentally left off of my original list. Mea culpa. <br /><br />Following this list, you will find my top ten of the year, countdown-style. <br /><br />So, without further muss and fuss:<br /><br />!!!-Myth Takes<br />1990s-Cookies<br />Amy Winehouse-Frank <br />Across the Universe-soundtrack<br />The Arcade Fire-Neon Bible<br />Apples in Stereo-New Magnetic Wonder<br />Beirut-Flying Club Cup<br />Andrew Bird-Armchair Apocrypha<br /><strong>Black Lips-Good Bad Not Evil</strong><br />Blonde Redhead-23<br />Bright Eyes-Cassadega<br />Burial-Untrue<br />Clap Your Hands Say Yeah-Some Loud Thunder<br />Corinne Bailey Rae-self-titled<br />The Cribs-Men's Needs, Women's Needs<br />Elliott Smith-New Moon<br />Feist-Reminder<br />The Go!
