2007 was a terrific year for music, but it was also the year
that finding music on your own terms (MySpace, iTunes, misc. downloads) became
more pervasive than doing the bidding of the endangered species known as big
record labels. Music writers had more opportunity to sample obscure and
left-field stuff as well, since artists and inventive PR companies such as Team
Clermont did a great job of making us aware of their projects. It would be easy
to come up with a list of 20 or even 30 albums I loved this year, but I
promised myself I'd zero in on the ten that meant the most to me and stood up
to my own personal criteria. Here are the winners, plus some assorted
additional recordings I'd like to acknowledge in other categories.

"JinJa envisioned this album being a monkey on her back for
the next ten years," said Birkenbeuel. "She put her foot down and said this has
got to get done. So we had to whittle everything down to 12 or 13 songs. It's
hard to know when a song is done, but..."
"We hunkered down," Davis
interrupted.
