For what it's worth ...

Stephen King is already thinking about his 2007 best-of music list, and he's not happy. He said he could only find seven CDs worth holding for praise.

I think I'll have quite the opposite problem, but I give His Creepiness props for a damn good list, anyway. You can read the whole list here, but I'll give you the highlights: Among the praiseworthy were Wilco's "Sky Blue Sky," Lyle Lovett's "It's Not Big It's Large," John Fogerty's "Revival," and "Countrypolitan Favorites" from Southern Culture on the Skids. And at number one? Steve Earle's "Washington Square Serenade."

So there you go. Now, if you find yourself sitting next to Stephen King on the bus, you'll have something to talk about.
