[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Nine of my 2007 top 10 are in the list. This list features the MOTHER of the one artist from my personal list who wasn't on this list.

[godsshoeshine]

not a bad list. almost every album i thought of before i clicked is on it, but to be honest i have not done well keeping up this year. and i hate lists
 
 i might even go national #1

[El Jefe Design]

I listened to the Nationals album again last night after seeing it here. Nope, still don't like it. Nor the Arcade Fire.
 
 Good to see the Black Lips and Sharon Jones on there as those are my fave albums at the moment.
