New Rule: Just like IRA contributions you have until April 15th to post last year’s "best of" lists.
Here is some of my favorite music from 2007. 
Robert Plant Alison Krauss – Raising Sand – A great surprise and a true joy. "Please Read the Letter" was one of the finest vocal performances of the year.
Radiohead – In Rainbows – A brilliant return to form. It still isn’t O.K. Computer but a heck of a lot closer than the last couple attempts.
Wilco – Sky Blue Sky – Jeff Tweedy rehabs and is happy to be alive., We’re happy to hear that.
Bruce Springsteen – Magic – Two classics "Radio Nowhere" and "Girls in Their Summer Clothes"
Arcade Fire – Neon Bible – My affection for this CD rises and falls. When I love it – I REALLY love it. 
The National – Boxer – Haunting brooding moody glorious.
The Shins – Wincing the Night Away – Pain with high harmonies – what a glorious combination.
Iron and Wine – The Shepherd’s Dog Backed by Calexico this is almost trance inducing. In a good way.
Spoon Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga – This band continues to grow and evolve. Several brilliant tracks on this one.
LCD Sound-system – Sounds of Silver WOW! Unlike anything else ever. "North American Sum" is just the beginning.
Amy Winehouse – Back to Black Pray for her. This talent can not be squandered away. I hope.
Favorite Single or track
John Doe with Kathleen Edwards – "The Golden State" If it were not for Plant and Krauss THIS would have been duet of the year. Great song.
Runner Up – Band of Horses – "Is There a Ghost"
Favorite Personal Discovery – Manu Chao – It appears that the rest of the world already knew, but most of the US still doesn’t. This guy is fantastic.
