It's that time of year again, people, when every last media outlet on the planet puts out an inane "best of" list for everything and anything imaginable.
But why should they have all the fun and who cares what they think anyway? I want to know what the tastemakers on current dot com were bumping in '07. So what are your favorite albums of 2007? Here's my linked-up top 20 of the year that was:

The Canadian quintet known for their badass live performances are playing @ Mezzanine in SF this weekend. Their music is definitely post-rock, executed with power and grace while effortlessly traversing many diverse moods and styles. Think, maybe, Mogwai with a soul. Should be a great show, and only 15 bucks! See you there.
