My Favorite Music of 2007

So, for my first blog post I thought I would tackle the task of a personal Best of 2007 list. Since there are so many “Top 10 Albums” lists out there I thought I would try a different approach: I made up an iTunes auto-playlist of all my music from 2007 and listened to this shuffle for about a week. Eventually I came up with my own categories as they seemed fitting.

I hope you enjoy this list and the music as much as I did. Feel free to comment and suggest any categories or groups I may have missed.
