A YEAR IN MUSIC

Phil Conway contributes...

There are so many thousands of albums that come out each year that it’s
literally impossible to sift through every one. But that’s the fun in
compiling year-end album lists.

Almost everyone listens to the same highly anticipated releases (and often
for good reason), but the gems are the albums that people are drawn to for
their own personal reasons.

Although the music that defines the year 2007 won’t be revealed until years
down the road, these are the albums that made up the soundtrack to the year
for some of us here at StrawberryFrog NY.

Maybe next year “The Amphibians” will top some of these lists? It’s likely.

Let the records play:

I’ve bought two albums this year. I’m pathetic.

The other was the Eddie Vedder solo album which was surprisingly good.
