Ep5 - Best Of 2007: Play Now | Play in Popup

This week’s podcast was our Best of 2007 episode. We didn’t want to post the list on the blog until most of our subscribers had listened to the show.

It’s been a few days now, and I thought I’d give our readers a chance to pour over the list we debuted on the podcast. We think all the records we list are important so on the show we went through the albums chronologically, and that’s how they’re listed below.
