I'm aware that there's plenty of people who dislike 'best of' lists because they are essentially pointless and unreliable. But regardless, I'm posting this because it is a pretty interesting list and I think a lot of discussion could come out of it, hopefully a bit more than just complaining about where things are ranked.
Plus, there's quite a bit of music that I don't see discussed much on this site and maybe some people will spot something that interests them.
The Best Albums of 2008 < PopMatters Picks: The Best Music of 2008 | PopMatters
I think it's a good list, they covered most of my favourite albums from the year, although not many were high on the list. I'm a little shocked that Bedlam in Goliath didn't make it on there.
Tha Carter 3 at #8 was a big suprise for me and I think calling it the best rap album of the year is a bit ridiculous, but that was the only thing I had a real problem with.
Your thoughts....
