It's getting to that time of year... anyways here are my favorite CDs released in 2007

1. radiohead - in rainbows
2. kings of leon - because of the times

I found 2007 to be somewhat of a weak year in music...you know what...i take that back...there were a few really strong discs...but not strong enough for me to find a 10th disc to call a favorite...hang on...i'll think of one more
