2008 Music Lists
As I've done the past two years, I've ranked the albums I acquired this year. The rankings are in no way scientific. I spent about 10 minutes moving stuff around. The top album leads the pack by a large margin. The next few stand out against the rest. But, all in all, these are good albums and the ranking might be different on a different day.
After the list you will find an embedded player with a song from each album (some albums may not be represented because of licensing restrictions). The player comes from lala.com, which is a site I highly recommend. Should you decide to check it out and join up (it's free!), be sure to follow this link (lala.com reference) so I can get credit for referring you.
