Here's another list to get hateful comments over-it's British Mag Mojo's turn to pick their favs of 2007.
Keep in mind that in the U.K., release dates are a little bit different than here.
That being said, they put Yoko on their list, and ignored Beirut, The National and a few others.
Let the disagreements begin.
PS: I love how some commenter's believe that I wrote the list, even though I clearly state it's Mojo's list.
Alrighty then.

mojo's list seems good to me... the top 25, at least.
i was bored by bloc party's newest, so i'd have left it off, too.

I'm so glad Tinariwen are in! I really enjoyed everything I heard of theirs.
I'd say Amon Tobin, M.I.A. and The Jesse James OST (Nick Cave/Warren Ellis again) are missing, other than that, nice list.
