let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

The year is good enough to just about leave Radiohead's and Procupine Tree's albums out of the list - I like these bands a lot but their 2007 albums didn't convince me.

Battles - Mirrored
William D. Drake - Briny Hooves
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - In Glorious Times
Robert Wyatt - Comicopera
The Gourishankar - 2nd Hands
Anekdoten - A Time of Day
Karda Estra - The Last of the Libertine
Maserati - Inventions for the New Season
Holger Czukay & Ursa Major - 21st Century
Asmus Tietchens & Richard Chartier - Fabrication

I've heard some of the Galahad album and quite like Mystery but neither bands are ranking that high for me. I'm surprised I didn't know more music from this year as I was buying at least 50 CD's a year at this point. I can only think it was mainly historical prog and I was still playing 'catch up'.

1: Fear of a Blank Planet by Porcupine Tree
2: Doomsday Afternoon by Phideaux
3: Night by Gazpacho
4: Act II: The Meaning of, And All Things Regarding Ms. Leading by The Dear Hunter
5: Time Control by Hiromi’s Sonicbloom
6: Ziltoid the Omniscient by Devin Townsend

I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!
