2007 Top 20 (in videos)

20 December 2007

Now, while compiling my excessively long Top 20 albums of 2007 post (2,163 words for those counting along at home) I briefly considered linking to an MP3 off each, before I realised two things:

1) I couldn’t be bothered (it took long enough just to write it).
2) MP3s aren’t really the best way of listening to tracks on the web, videos are.

So today, as a companion to yesterdays post, here’s the Top 20 albums of 2007 in video form:
