PLAYLIST 11 – The Best Songs of 2007

One last look back at the Best of 2007. This time, the songs that made a difference to me. As always, a playlist to mark the occasion. Looking back, 2007 marked a year of musical brilliance highlighted by new discoveries and a host of reliable favourites.

I am looking forward to what 2008 will bring. With rumours of the demise of the cd and declining music sales it should at the very least prove interesting. In the end I am quite certain that the good music will indeed prevail and it will be heard. I’ll certainly do my best to help with that.
