A Year of Good Memories: Bob Boilen's Top Ten CDs for 2007

For the past three weeks I put all my favorites CDs from 2007 into a playlist on my iPod and let it shuffle. In the end, the music I was consistently thrilled with hearing are on the list below. Some are groundbreaking (Panda Bear and Radiohead fit that bill), some were delightfully fun (Flight of the Conchords) , and others were full of so many great songs they were undeniable. We try all year long to find music that you'll fall in love with as much as we do — music that will be your friend and music that will fill you with good memories. The ones below did it for me.

Bob Boilen
In 1988, a determined Bob Boilen started showing up on NPR's doorstep every day, looking for a way to contribute his skills in music and broadcasting to the network. His persistence paid off, and within a few weeks he was hired, on a temporary basis, to work for All Things Considered. Less than a year later, Boilen was directing the show and continued to do so for the next 18 years.
