Best Records of 2007

I'm treading on DeDurkheim's territory here, but I'm posting my good friend G's "Best Records of 2007" list in the hope of provoking some music trash talking between them. And by the way, I take no position on -- or responsibility for -- the content of this list. I knew I had to do that when I saw No. 11, which has got to be a joke.
