COMMENTS
Overall, this was a pretty outstanding year for music. Especially in comparison to '06 (yes, Muse made my Top Ten!). This time around, I had a really hard time whittling it down to just ten record and while I finally did it after much internal deliberation, I also felt it would be an injustice if I didn't include my honorable mentions as well (all of these records were so close):

The Besnard Lakes - s/t
Jamie T - Panic Prevention
Black Lips - Good Bad Not Evil
Yeah Yeah Yeah - Is Is
Travis Morrison Hellfighters - All Y'All
Chemical Brothers - We Are The Night
A Band of Bees - Octopus
M.I.A. - Kala
Loney, Dear - Loney, Noir
