2008

Hi everyone and welcome to my best of 2008 list. I have decided to keep this one short and sweet. The reason behind this is because I just don't really feel like expressing these albums in words, i think a lot has been said about these albums and I don't really feel like joining in and offering my own two cents. Also I believe that not too many of you really care about what I have to say when making these lists, unless of course I'm wrong then you will be very sad. I doubt it. So here it is, short and sweet, the best albums of 2008.

ENJOY!!!!
