Top 40 Songs of 2007

I have an obsession with year end lists, I know it, and I'm probably not going to recover from it. But really, I think I am more obsessed with knowing what's going on in the arts. I want to hear all the rave albums I want to see all the best movies, I simply love great art and the enjoyment of experiencing it. It can get ridiculous when judging which piece of great art is better than the other, but we all do it. We have personal preferences and we would never have the same list as someone else, though I enjoy disagreeing with other people's lists ;) So, I will start of my end of the year lists with my favorite, though I think they are the best, 40 songs of the year.
