I did not think I would make a year end list this year.
There have been far too many albums I’ve loved, and the task to pick 10 great ones seemed impossible. Another reason is that every year, I’ve used far too much time on the lists, and I don’t have that much time to spend on these things this year. It’s always frustrating to sit there for a long time and choose if this one’s better than that one, and to me it is a waste of time. But…. Our writer Sarah Wynona came up with a brilliant personal list yesterday, and suddenly I felt inspired.

I did not want to make a top10, but a list of  ALBUMS I’VE LOVED IN 2007. Some of them may not be considered great or best of the year seen from a comparable quality viewpoint, but to me these albums are the ones that has meant most to me this year. It’s a long long long list, and I’m sorry that I haven’t commented or added albumart or links, but I’m sure you understand why I haven’t .

Please comment if you see something you like or dislike here!
And… I did not want to rank any albums, but I’ve put the absolutely most loved ones in one list, and the very much loved ones in another list. Enjoy! (?)
