Fimoculous.com: 2007 Lists

It's only November, but Fimoculous has already begun compiling his 2007 List of Lists. Notable in the Best Albums articles such as this Ann Powers one are the appearance of the MIA album, which is a first for a South Asian. (Unfortunately I don't actually like her music, but she's still more a more notable South Asian to me than, say, Bobby Jindal, whose anti-evolutionist beliefs are depressing.)
Also the Powers list is Bruce Springsteen's Magic, which was produced in Atlanta and features session musicians from the Atlanta area including several members of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
