Hey- that's a fantastic list and a great reminder of the best that was released last year...
Have you heard the Jamie T album, "Panic Prevention"?
It's a stunning debut album with touches of The Streets, The Clash, Sir John Betjeman- find the single "Sheila" as that will give you an idea.
But you really need to hear it as it sounds so modern, but timeless at the same time...my number 1 album of last year.

I didn't buy a lot of albums in 2007, but my favorites were

The World Has Made Me The Man of My Dreams -- Me'Shell Ndegeocello

Ear Drum -- Talib Kweli

Finding Forever -- Common

The Real Thing: Words and Sounds Vol. 3 -- Jill Scott

Josh Ritter- The Historical Conquests Of Josh Ritter

Great F#@#uckin Album!!

Wack ass list. M.I.A. sucks. Her music is literally noise. Only hippies dig that shit.
