Scenestar

It’s nearly the end of this year, which means several Web sites and publications have been compiling their lists of the Best Albums of 2007. Many of the top spots have varied this year, with Pitchfork naming Panda Bear’s Person Pitch No. 1; Blender and Rolling Stone both placing Kala from M.I.A. at the top spot; and Klaxons’ Myths of the Near Future landing at No. 1 for NME’s list.

After the Scenestar compiled our own lists at the first-half of the year, some of us again took a look back and compiled our Top 10 Albums of 2007. And as Radiohead’s In Rainbows was big news for its innovative release strategy, it also took top honors as album of the year for many of us here. Hope you enjoy reading our lists, and Happy Holidays from The Scenestar.
