Sassigrass' Favorite 50 of 2007

I don't feel the need to rehash what I have already said about these albums, so what you are going to get is a pure and simple list, no explanations. I had a difficult time ranking many of these albums since I like a lot of them equally. This is a list of my favorite things that I have listened to this year. Obviously no one can get to absolutely everything that comes out in a solitary year. Let me know if you think there is something I missed that I would enjoy. I would love to see others' lists posted in the comments section. Thanks for reading our blog this year. It's been a great year for music!
