Best of 2007 (Pt. 1 of 2)

I know I've been neglecting my blog but I wanted to spread some Holiday cheer with my Best Of list for 2007. Besides, it's the only list I look forward to putting together each year. I've split it into two parts: a) my favorite/best albums of the year, and b) my favorite/best 21 songs, 10 remixes, and 10 music videos of the year. Oh and yes, I did the unthinkable and qualified a DJ mix compilation (Thee Bang Gang Deejays) as one of the Best Of albums. You only live once. Enjoy, and Happy motherfucking New Year!
