Top Albums of 2008

Mandy's been reminding me that I have failed to post my list of top albums of 2008. My main excuse is that I haven't wanted to take the time to write my commentary on each album, but since it is now more than five months past the end of 2008, it's time to just get this baby done. So, this year's list has no commentary other than this: Muse rocks live! What follows is my list of 31 albums released in 2008 in alphabetical order by artist:
