Wow...2007 truly has been a great year for music. The best album (and best new artist) is definitely A Fine Frenzy. One Cell in the Sea is a beautiful masterpeace that perfectly showcases the talent that is Alison Sudol. THE album of the year and not a single bad song on it. If you don't have it yet, please go buy it now! Rock music had a very strong year with Against Me!, Foo Fighters and Nine Inch Nails all delivering classics. I love all 20 of these. Many artists just missed making the list. Special runner-up mentions to Lily Allen, Tracy Lawrence, the Shins and Norah Jones. So, dear readers, what would you add to or take away from the list?
