Spurred on by ben and his 'most favorite of 2007 so-far' mixtape released late last week, several others have been put together and here they are in no particular order:

First, my own, similar to ben's, it's a compilation of my own favorites from 2007 thus far (with the caveat that I limit myself to 1 song per artist, with one exception this time):
My Mix:
Loney, Dear - I Am John (Loney, Noir)
Aqualung - Rolls So Deep (Memory Man)
Ryan Shaw - I am Your Man (This is Ryan Shaw)
Fountains of Wayne - Strapped For Cash (Traffic and Weather)
Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry on Their Own (Back to Black)
Mika - Big Girl [You Are Beautiful] (Life in Cartoon Motion)
Lewis Taylor - Yeah (The Lost Album)
Joss Stone - Baby, Baby, Baby (Introducing Joss Stone)
Tyrone Wells - Dream Like New York (Hold On)
The Feeling - Fill My Little World (Twelve Stops and Home)
