Best of 2007's music (or something like that)

Here's my top 50 (in alphabetical order) memorable songs of 2007 ipod playlist. The list is a combination of best songs of the year with my favorite songs of the year. It's an amalgamation of the two ideas. But I have bold-faced what I think are the 10 best songs of the year. I realize that technically some of the songs were released in 2006...ie Read My Mind...but some songs weren't released as singles until 2007... again...Ready My Mind.

3 Points:
1) Too wussy to rank the songs?
2) Halloweenhead? Really? (Guitar solo!)
3) Rooney? Really? (note that I have not heard this song)
