Best of 2007, Pt. 2

City Paper's '07 round-up came out today. For the second year, the results are presented online in a nice, well-designed format that, alas, does not lend itself to linking. Check the whole thing here. I wrote the entries on numbers 10 (The Weakerthans), 18 (Wilco) and 19 (Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings).

Also, as is customary, you can check the ballots of all who contributed to the list, mine included.
