LastBroadcast's Top 100 Albums Of 2007

As 2007 draws to a close, let's take a look back at our favourite albums of the year... And, can we just say before the hate-mail starts pouring in: don't read too much into the order, because there's really not much logic behind what's placed where in the run-down. See it more as just a list of a hundred albums from the past 12 months that we think are rather good.
