Yay, I was hoping for a thread like this.

1- Amy Winehouse - Back To Black

Definitely the best record I've listened to this year. I hope she pulls her act together and continues to do music as great as this. Only to be matched by:

2- CafÃ© Tacuba - SÃ*No

One of the most amazing and heartfelt re-inventions I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. This is and will forever be my favorite band. Hopefully Gustavo Santaolalla's brain can put two and two together and make them and Nelly collaborate sometime.

3- The Fratellis - Costello Music

Going retro in style, just like Amy did. Every track and b-side is just amazing.

4- BjÃ¶rk - Volta

No words can describe her. I hope she never ever stops making music.

5- Jorge Drexler - 12 Segundos de Oscuridad

Incredible. And an album about lighthouses, just how cool is that? Probably the most gifted Latin American songwriter. If you want to check him out, listen to his cover of Radiohead's High & Dry featured in this album.

6- Bajofondo Tango Club - Mar Dulce

Their best album yet. Loving Slippery S.idewalks, loving the rest.

7- Michael BublÃ© - Call Me Irresponsible

The collaborations he does here are amazing. And he's finally letting loose a little and pouring more of his own style into his songs. Can't get enough of this guy's voice.

8- Radiohead - In Rainbows

Definitely my favorite Radiohead album. It's very cool that people like these guys keep the music business as it should be: about creativity and expression, not sales.

9- Radio 1 Established 1967

I LOVE covers, it's so cool when people want to do tributes to artists they admire or just for the hell of it. What a better way of celebrating 40 years of history than to have today's best artists playing covers?

10 -Grey's Anatomy Soundtrack, Volume 3

I doubt every song in the album is from 2007, but you gotta aplaude the music directors or whatever you call them that work in this show. They really showcase the truly talented musicians that should be leading the music business, in contrast to the commercial clowns they put on the radio and TV nowadays *cough*TIMBALAND*cough*

11- Lily Allen - Alright, Still

I had to do 11, couldn't leave her out. Love her to death, can't wait to see where she is going with his sophomore album and if she can replicate the huge success she had with this first one.

And the big letdown of this year was Zeitgeist, the long-awaited comeback of The Smashing Pumpkins:

It's not that it's good or bad, it's just not the side of their music I enjoy. I was hoping for another Mellon Collie/Adore. This to me sounds really amateur, like if it was their first record and they didn't know what they were doing, like they recorded it in someone's garage. Which is actually very cool, and the thing I liked the most about it. Ironic, what can arguably be the worst thing about the album is also the best. I hope they stay together for a LONG time. This just wasn't my cup of tea
