Gummys, Paste, Plug ... all that voting & arguing and listing and thinking just makes me wonder what F&F's top slots will be! Post away 'til December 31, 2007! What is YOUR Top Ten of 2007?!
EDIT This post is for Top Ten ALBUMS of the year. If you want to start a diff top ten post, let's have it! Harp released their top albums of the year, which I think I like more than Paste's http://www.stereogum.com/archives/harp-puts-okkervil-river-atop-its-top-50-cds-of-20.html

My #1 this year in every category goes to the graphic on this post. Still working on my top 10.
are we talking albums? shows? singles? what is the realm.
i confess, i have no big, secret rating system, but sunset rubdown gets my vote for best concert and album. worst concert goes to tokyo police club...wink, wink.
more voting on npr's all songs considered:

i thought the secret to one's top ten was whether or not you liked it...if there's more to it than that, i'm screwed!
I like Harp’s list too. We have the same #1.

Is anyone else surprised that Stylus, Paste and Harp didn't even mention the Handsome Furs album?
I'm totally surprised the Handsome Furs are not mentioned since I placed it in my Top 10, well not saying I'm Stylus, Paste and Harp...but I really thought it was a worthy release.
My Top 10:
1. We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank/Modest Mouse
2. Neon Bible/Arcade Fire
3. The Stage Names/Okkervil River
4. Plague Park/Handsome Furs
5. Drums & Guns/Low
6. In Rainbows/Radiohead
7. Sky Blue Sky/Wilco
8. Our Ill Will/Shout Out Loud's
9. Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga/Spoon
10. Spirit If.../B.S.S. presents Kevin Drew

Boxer/The National
Hello, Avalanche/The Octopus Project
Cease To Begin/Band of Horses
Strawberry Jam/Animal Collective

Andorra/Caribou
The Besnard Lakes are the Dark Horse/The Besnard Lakes
Grass Geysers...Carbon Clouds/Enon
Armchair Apocrypha/Andrew Bird
Back Numbers/Dean & Britta
Comeback of the year:
Beyond/Dinosaur Jr.
Oh, and I keep forgetting how terrific El-P's "I'll Sleep When Your Dead" disc was...my brain hurts!
i was surprised Handsome Furs were left off. i'm guessing the quota for animal-related band names was already met.
