DETAILED TWANG’S BEST OF 2007

Ooooh it was just so hard to be out of commission for a couple months and not be able to rank-order the best music I heard this year! So here, in late late January, are the “records of the year”, some of which weren’t even records. I’m refraining from any commentary on these out of consideration for your time.....I’m also not trying to go to 10 on each of these, as, to be honest, I didn’t hear every record/CD made during the year. As so often happens, sometimes my favorite records during any given year are heard way after the fact. If you can help speed along this process by letting me know what I missed in the comments section, that’d be righteous.
