While 2007 was a giant year of crap, lets see if I can at least make Top 5 lists.

Music
1) Say Anything – In Defense Of The Genre
~ Only album of 2007 that I can hands down say I loved. While I am not a double album fan, I have to give props to a double album from an “emo” band.

2) The Fall Of Troy – Manipulator
~Not nearly as good as Doppleganger, but Thomas Erakis one of the most fascinating guitarists I have heard in a while, and he’s only 22! Now you can be him on Guitar Hero III!

3) Coheed and Cambria – Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow
~A tearful goodbye from one of my favorite bands

4) Kanye West – Graduation
~Kanye is just a cut above the rest in pop sensibility amongst hip hop artists.

5) The Hives – The Black and White Album
~You can’t listen to a Hives album and not have the best time of your life

Garbage of 2007: The White Stripes – Icky Thump, Radiohead – In Rainbows

Movies
1) Superbad
~Name one movie about high school kids that is so brutally honest. I dare you. It also doesn’t hurt that there are maybe a grand total of 10 minutes in the movie where you are not laughing hysterically.

2) The Savages
~ Philip Seymour Hoffman + Laura Linney = Makes any list I will ever have.

3) The Lives Of Others
~ Technically a 2006 film, but it was released in America this year. If I made a very serious list, this would probably be 1.

4) There Will Be Blood
~PTA has returned.

5) Enchanted
~I don’t care what you think. 2007 had so many bad movies. I saw this with my 3 year old siblings and I honestly enjoyed it more than most of the crap I had seen all year.

Garbage of 2007: Juno, Atonement, No Country For Old Men, Ratatouille, Grindhouse
