The Best of 2008

2008 has been an excellent year in music with a very diverse range of releases that can satisfy any listener.  I found a particular joy in many albums released this year, and my faith in some “poppy” music has been slightly restored.  So what do I find to be the best music of the year?  Between December 13 and December 31, I’ll be doing a countdown of the best songs, best albums, and worst music of the year.  If you find it a bit overwhelming, I’ve created this page just for you!  After I post each update, I’ll edit this area to include links to the overall results. So keep checking back to see what this year really had to offer!
