It's almost the end of the year, and with just over a month to go, I thought I'd actually make the effort this year to try and compile a list of great albums I've bought or listened to this year.
It's exclusive to 2007 as best it can be, although there are a couple of albums that were released earlier in the States but only achieved recognition over here in the past 12 (well, 11 and a bit) months.
There's still time for a latecomer to blow me away, hence these are as yet in no order, and the final list will be done no earlier than 31st December.

Jimmy Eat World - Chase This Light
Tiger Army - Music From Regions Beyond
Avenged Sevenfold - Avenged Sevenfold
Nightwish - Dark Passion Play
Within Temptation - The Heart Of Everything
Maroon 5 - It Won't Be Soon Before Long
Paramore - Riot!
Kelly Clarkson - My December
The Wildhearts - The Wildhearts
Say Anything - In Defense Of The Genre
Thrice - The Alchemy Index Vol. I & II: Fire and Water
The Fray - How To Save A Life
30 Seconds To Mars - A Beautiful Lie
Manic Street Preachers - Send Away The Tigers
Linkin Park - Minutes To Midnight
Fall Out Boy - Infinity On High
Epica - The Divine Conspiracy
Good Charlotte - Good Morning Revival
Biffy Clyro - Puzzle
The Ataris - Welcome The Night
The Dillinger Escape Plan - Ire Works
After Forever - After Forever
Machine Head - The Blackening
Aereogramme - My Heart Has A Wish That You Would Not Go
Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero
InMe - Daydream Anonymous
Atreyu - Lead Sails Paper Anchor
Marilyn Manson - Eat Me, Drink Me
Foo Fighters - Echoes, Silence, Patience, Grace
Paradise Lost - In Requiem
Dustin Kensrue - Please Come Home
Alter Bridge - Blackbird
Smashing Pumpkins - Zeitgeist
Radiohead - In Rainbows
Oh, Sleeper - When I Am God
Sugababes - Change
Turbonegro - Retox

Expect this list to grow over the next week or so as I think of more albums that deserve nomination.

EDIT, 23rd Nov: So far 7 albums have been added to the list, although I'm going down to albums unlikely to make a finalised list now.
EDIT, 13th Dec: Added another 3.
FINAL EDIT, 24th Dec: Added another 7 late additions. I should stop downloading things so close to the end of the year that are really fucking good.
