The Best of the Best.

"Best Albums of 2008" lists are popping up everywhere. It seems like they come earlier every year. I am still delicately crafting my own top 20 list. These things take a lot of time and deliberation, at least for me they do.

Here are some links to some of the just-released lists.

Paste Magazine Top 50


Blender Magazine Top 33


Q Magazine Top 50


Uncut & Mojo Magazine Top 50


Amazon.com Top Picks


Heavy hitters like Pitchfork, Rolling Stone and Spin have yet to release their year
end lists.

Thanks to the excellent site Stereogum for the links!
