Top Albums of 2007

What better way to waste time at work then posting my top 10 albums of 2007!! I usually take a lot of time doing this and then send it out as a mass email to all of my friends. Thanks to ERIC KULA for starting this tradition. I look forward to getting your list soon, you know the old man likes his cannoli.

New Pornographers: Challengers
It's a great album by my favorite band and it also has my putter in the title.

White Stripes: Icky Thump
Sick boy guitar

Radiohead: In Rainbows
Thanks ZV for the recommendation, but I would have downloaded it eventually. I want to know, who paid for it??

Kanye West: Graduation
Just got a copy of this a few weeks ago and I've been playing it nonstop.

Deerhoof: Friend Opportunity

Battles: Mirrored

LCD Soundsystem: Sound of Silver
good for the gym and a 'grower' for sure.

The Arcade Fire: Neon Bible
Another strong album from Canada's 2nd best band.

Justice: †
This album is like nothing I've heard before, so that's worth something, right?

Grizzly Bear: Friend EP
Also just got a copy of this, need to spend some time on it with headphones but it comes to me highly recommended by a very trusty source. I like it so far.
