Best of '07: Half n Half

We started this tradition back in 2005, and we like to continue to maintain this as a regular part of lists we compile. Personally, I think the album art has as much weight as the actual album content. But then again, we live in different times...with digital downloads and all...that in itself is a different discussion.
Here's my list (so far from what I've seen).

According to Wikipedia, the album art cover serves three main purposes:

* To protect the record, whose grooved surface was delicate.
* To advertise the contents, as the record had little room on its own record label.
* To convey the artistic aspirations of the original artists
