2007 might just be my favorite year for music releases this decade. Unfortunately, many, many great albums were left out of this list. It was pretty hard leave them out, but I couldn’t press the little blue “Publish” button without any of the following albums on the list:
A. LCD Soundsystem – Sound of Silver
B. Radiohead – In Rainbows
C. Arcade Fire – Neon Bible
D. Spoon – Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
E. M.I.A. – Kala
F. Panda Bear – Person Pitch
G. Animal Collective – Strawberry Jam
H. of Montreal – Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?
I. Kanye West – Graduation
J. Amy Winehouse – Back To Black
[polldaddy poll="2256344"]
Albums we love but didn’t make the shortlist: The Cool by Lupe Fiasco, From Here We Go Sublime by The Field, Untrue by Burial, Raising Sand by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend by Miranda Lambert, Mirrored by Battles, Favorite Worst Nightmare by Arctic Monkeys, Let’s Stay Friends by Les Savy Fave, 23 by Blonde Redhead, The Shepard’s Dog by Iron & Wine, Boxer by The National, The Reminder by Feist, among others. This list was way too long.

2007 was an awesome awesome year for music, i love all of the records you mentioned. glad to see a shout out to miranda lambert.
OMG!!!!!! You left The National out over Strawberry Jam And Hissing Fauna
Totally, dude.
Hissing Fauna, is the most underrated album on that list.
foe show
2007 has to be the best year of music this decade. It must have been such a struggle to get down to such a limited list in such a good year!
My heart just BROKE.
Andrew Bird’s Armchair Apocrypha is my favorite album.
ever.
I agree with Anonymous, though. This was definitely a hard list to make.
The Shins and Justice both had phenomenal 07 records too.
Sorry, any list without Armchair for ’07 is incomplete
My vote would go to M.I.A.
In Rainbows wins easily. It’s my second favorite Radiohead album ever. Neon Bible is a close second for me (never got into LCD Soundsystem so I can’t judge them)
The National deserves to be on this list.
KALA!!!!
Luis… seriously? We have to choose just ONE of these?
Painful.
No Boxer or Favourite Worst Nightmare
Where the heck is Tegan and Sara’s The Con album???
My vote is for Of Montreal… I listened to that album on repeat too many times to count
kala for sure. might be the best album of the decade. in the top ten at least.
I can’t choose just one, so I didn’t vote at all.
Definitely the hardest vote so far, but I went with Strawberry Jam. I love the point where artists retain all their quirks but make perfect pop music.
