With much picking, choosing, and music snobbery debating, the buzz music staff made their list of the Top 25 albums of 2007. And, through an in-house algorithm we created (well, actually, a point-assigning system, but counting doesn’t sound as fancy), we combined our list for your agreement or disagreement. Enjoy!

The best record I heard all year was What Is?! by King Khan and The Shrines. It's high energy rock and roll that could be right out of the 60s. Everyone I gave it to was immediately hooked... I haven't seen it on any year-end lists, and I'm upset.
