Its end of year list season. And with everyone putting together their ‘best of’ lists, I’ve chosen to re-word the phrase. Above is a link to 30 Albums I enjoyed during this up an down year of 2008.

I didn’t say “The Best Albums of..” because that would suggest Im an authority on the subject of music, and that would be pretentious.
