Constructing my top ten albums of the year list has turned into quite the Sisyphean task, every time I sketch out a quick list, four to six deserving albums somehow escape my attention, I took to creating a spreadsheet to keep everything from falling apart, but this quickly ballooned well past my arbitrary ten album limit. So, without further ado, I present my top 10, nee top 27 albums of 2007 (and I’m sure I’m still forgetting loads of deserving records).
