Just as soon as it was thrust upon us, the year that was 2007 is about to be consigned to history. Naturally, the best way to celebrate this fact is to gather round the television for the hours of lists and reviews that somehow do the year's events justice. But rather than watch Jimmy Carr scoff his way through the funny side of Chelsea winning the cup, here goes my attempt at creating a "Best of..." list that even I can't disagree with, surely?
One of the most eagerly deployed clichés is 'what a year this has been in music', and if you look in any of the music mags, they'll probably say something to that extent. I'll happily subscribe to that claim though. It's not been an epoch-defining year, but there has been some good shit this year, and this is a shameless attempt to sign-up to the list-makers' guild with a look at some of the better music of 2007 type of thing. Some might be a bit older, but I reserve that right, isn't it?
