best albums of '07.

I'll put together my top ten fave albums from '07. as always, not all of these albums were RELEASED in '07... I'm usually doing pretty good if I find the bandwagon within eighteen months of everyone else, so cut me some slack.

20. silversun pickups - carnavas
19. gnarls barkley - st elsewhere
18. iron & wine - the shepherd's dog
17. hellogoodbye - zombies! aliens! vampires! dinosaurs!
16. the kaiser chiefs - yours truly, angry mob
15. band of horses - cease to begin
14. tegan & sara - the con
13. lily allen - alright, still
12. muse - black holes and revelations
11. feist - the reminder
10. the arctic monkeys - favourite worst nightmare
9. rilo kiley - under the black light
8. the thrills - teenager
7. bloc party - weekend in the city
6. the weakerthans - reunion tour
5. modest mouse - we were dead before the ship even sank
4. the arcade fire - neon bible
3. the shins - wincing the night away
2. peter bjorn & john - writer's blocks
1. the fratellis - costello music

honorable mentions - albums downloaded but not purchased (yet):
battles - mirrored
rogue wave - asleep at heaven's gate
wilco - sky blue sky

albums I plan to look into based on hype (ie, check next year's list):
lcd sound system - sound of silver
of montreal - hissing fauna, are you the destroyer?

I really didn't see enough movies this year to make a comprehensive list, even a top ten. and seeing as there were gaping holes in what I managed to see, a top five would probably be insulting... so that just won't happen this year.
