TOP TEN OF THE YEAR: JAY-Z

Jay-Z came out with a great record this year, "American Gangster." The beat, and especially the horns, make this cut "Roc Boys (and the winner is...)" one of the singles of the year. Unless you're already too far gone, this will make you tap your foot.

TOP TEN OF THE YEAR: ARCADE FIRE

Shot by a security camera
You can't watch your own image
And also look yourself in the eye
Black Mirror, Black Mirror, Black Mirror

I know a time is coming
All words will lose their meaning
Please show me something that isn't mine
But mine is the only kind that I relate to
Le miroir casse
The mirror casts mon reflet partour
Black Mirror, Black Mirror, Black Mirror

Arcade Fire makes our top ten albums of the year. Here they play Black Mirror live at the Reading Festival, 2007.

TOP TEN OF THE YEAR: RADIOHEAD

Reckoner/ You can't take it with you /Dancing for your pleasure

You are not to blame for/ Bittersweet distractor /Dare not speak its name

Dedicated to all you all human beings

Radiohead caught more attention this year with pricing as you wish, but they actually made a beautiful record, and easily made our list of top ten albums of the year for 2007.

TOP TEN OF THE YEAR: M.I.A

No one on the corner has swag like us
Hit me on my banner prepaid wireless
We pack and deliver like UPS trucks
Already in hell just pumping that gas

Now you know what that girl behind the counter is thinking when you order those sandwiches. M.I.A.'s album Kala is definitely in our top ten albums of 2007. Yes, the sample is from the Clash, "Straight to Hell."
