In no particular order
Meiko - Meiko
Single: Piano Song
My favorite cuts: Reasons to Love You, Sleep
Member of my “Jenny Lewis All-Stars”* (top 5 female, indie singer/songwriters likely to have or already have had their music on a prime-time TV show, ie: Grey’s Anatomy) Solid album overall. Could very well be my favorite from 2007.
Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank
Single: Dashboard
My favorite cuts: Missed The Boat, We’ve Got Everything
Kanye West - Graduation
Single: Stronger
My Favorite Cuts: Stronger, Everything I Am
Feels like two Kanye albums in one, and splits neatly right after Can’t Tell Me Nothing. Starting with Barry Bonds we hear a more experimental Kanye.
Feist - The Reminder
Single: 1 2 3 4
My Favorite Cuts: 1 2 3 4, My Moon My Man
I used to think Let It Die was better. That notion may have been pre-mature. Also a member of the Jenny Lewis All-Stars.
Wilco - Sky Blue Sky
Single: You Are My Face
My Favorite Cuts: Sky Blue Sky, Hate it Here
OK, this is my favorite of 2007.
Honorable Mentions
MAE - Singularity
Radiohead - In Rainbows
Sara Bareilles - Little Voice
Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
Lupe Fiasco - The Cool
Guilty Pleasure: The Graduate - Anhedonia
Song Everyone Loves: OneRepublic - Apologize
Franz Ferdinand award for catchiest song: Metro Station - Shake It
Disappointing
Bloc Party - A Weekend in the City
Dashboard Confessional - Shade of Poison Trees

Agreed on the Meiko album. One of the best of ‘07, and it was independently released! Well-written hooky songs, sparse production, relatable lyrics…this girl has a future.
