    Favourite Songs of 2007?

    I've seen tons of lists for people's favourite albums of 2007 both here and elsehwere but not as many for individual songs. I've loosely compiled a list of over 130 tracks or so from the year that I really loved and will likely post it all (or just some) when I get a chance to sort it all out, but does anyone else have any lists of their own to share in the meantime?
    Last 11 things I really enjoyed:

    Speed Racer (Wachowski/Wachowski, 2008)
    Safe (Haynes, 1995)
    South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Parker, 1999)
    Beastie Boys Story (Jonze, 2020)
    Bad Trip (Sakurai, 2020)
    What's Up Doc? (Bogdanovich, 1972)
    Diva (Beineix, 1981)
    Delicatessen (Caro/Jeunet, 1991)
    The Hunger (Scott, 1983)
    Pineapple Express (Green, 2008)
    Chungking Express (Wong, 1994)

    I heard it on Sirius Satellite Radio one night last year, and immediately assumed it came out in 07. My mistake. My brain is still at the strip club heh.

    Perhaps he thought the thread title said "Favourite songs of 2007, with one honorable mention from 15 years ago". I could see making that mistake.

    Songs or singles? I have a singles list, but if we're talking any unreleased song from 2007, it would be a different list entirely.
