Anyone started doing a Best Of 07 list yet? I’ve never been able to keep track of my listening habits for a month, let alone a full year, so you won’t be getting it from me. But my buddy Chris has put one up at his music blog, gravitas kills, and damned if I don’t agree with #15 (of 20:

“I tried to resist putting this album on my list. I just couldn’t. This album was damn near everywhere this year.
