Top 10 Albums of 2008

Here are my top 10 albums of 2008. It was really a stretch to put some of these on here, looking back on 2008 made me realize how disappointing it was for music. Not a lot of great, or even good albums. The top few on my list here I think will be some of my favorites for years to come, but the rest are just average at best in my mind. I'm hoping for a better year in 09, I've been listening to the new Ben Kweller, which is due to be released in Feb., and it is bound to end up on next years top 10 list here. Hopefully it will be a sign of a great musical year to come. If you're interested, click HERE for a look at my 2007 picks. Anyways, on with this years list.

Hopefully some of you will find a new artist you can enjoy, which is the main goal of this blog. A few of the songs I hesitated to put on the mix because they were recorded well before 2007, but weren't released until then, but in the end they were just too good to leave off.
