Top Albums of 2007?
I started one of these threads in '06,
http://www.maclife.com/forums/topic/88398
but I'm curious to see what people found in '07.
Open up iTunes and sort by year... what where your top 5 or 10 albums from 2007?

Wilco's Sky blue sky is my album of the decade.

Re: Top Albums of 2007?
I believe Man O' War released an album in 2007. Without hearing it I can safely assume it wins.
Seriously though, of the few albums I have heard from 2007 the best is Agua Del Pozo by AlexCuba. A close second would be Make Someone Happy by Sophie Milman.

Patience is a virtue of the weak for it makes them stand still long enough for the strong to crush them with ease.
