Essential Albums of 2007
Fear of a Blank PlanetFear of a Blank Planet by Porcupine Tree
Buy new: £6.49 / Used from: £6.07
Totally mind blowing - takes a few listens to get into but worth the effort - another PT gem
Time On EarthTime On Earth by Crowded House
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.86
A 10 year wait and well worth it - always better live but some fine gems from master songwriter Neil Finn
The Dark ThirdThe Dark Third by Pure Reason Revolution
Buy new: £4.53 / Used from: £3.68
Great band, totally hypnotic and absorbing music - find the European two-disc version for the extra tracks
Blackfield IIBlackfield II by Blackfield
Buy new: £5.38 / Used from: £5.33
Probably my album of 2007 - totally beautiful, melancholy, moving songs from Aviv Geffen and PT's Steven Wilson
AwakeningAwakening by Reasoning
Buy new: £6.67 / Used from: £6.77
A bit cheesy but seems to get played a lot in my car! Girlie prog?
PuzzlePuzzle by Biffy Clyro

Just so good - totally solid rock, interesting lyrics - play loud!
I'm Not DeadI'm Not Dead by Pink
Buy new: £4.30 / Used from: £3.60
If Pink ditched the urban crossover stuff and stuck to rock I'd like her more - great attitude though!
The Black ParadeThe Black Parade by My Chemical Romance

Can't stand the band but loved this album
Billy Talent IIBilly Talent II by Billy Talent

Loud and in your face and brilliant
Liberation TransmissionLiberation Transmission by Lostprophets

Kind of a boy-band heavy rock album, great to sing along to!
