To follow up on my original comment, I think this is as good of a rock list for the year as I've seen anywhere. I guess someone could point to the lack of newer acts on it but IMO this has been a particularly strong year for the stalwarts. And I think that's been the major untold story in the rock world for 2007.
Now that my lists are out, you can see I agree with four of your picks, despite mine not dwelling strictly in the rock idiom (P. Tree, Blackfield, Wilco and Mellencamp). It was also very tough to keep Joni, Neil and Fogerty off my list and on another day they very well could have made it on there.
The only one here I haven't heard yet is the Ryan Adams'. So ya' think I should check it out? ;&)

Pico, if you like Adams' better, more consistent albums (I'm thinking of Heartbreaker, Gold, Cold Roses), then you should enjoy Easy Tiger.
It's evident that he didn't release this just because he had some excess or random songs laying around. It's a very cohesive and well-played album.

Pico,
As I'm the admittedly self-proclaimed "Rockologist" round these parts, I just try to stick to my territory. Especially when there are imminently better qualified guys such as yourself, West, and Saleski here to cover the "jazzology" side of things. That said, I heard plenty of non-rock records this year that I really liked. Maybe one of these days...
