Best albums of 2007

One album came out on a pay-what-you-want honor system and the industry treated it as an existential threat rather than a stunt. A chart battle the same autumn settled which direction hip-hop was going, and dance-punk made its most emotional record on the way out.

According to Riffiter listeners, the best album of 2007 is Mothership by Led Zeppelin, rated 4.3/5 by 29 listeners.
