Paste Announce Favorite Albums Of 2008

My favorite time of the year is just around the corner and no, it's not Thanksgiving or Christmas, it's what we bloggers love, the end of the year lists. I have been keeping track throughout the year and have begun to work on my lists for Favorite Albums, Favorite Songs, and Favorite Live Shows Of 2008. Granted, I will not post my final lists for another few weeks because I still need to listen a little more to my 300+ albums from the year and of course there are still many albums that I am still unaware of. I plan to gather some more from other lists, like Paste, who have already compiled their list. So yes, now is the time to start filling me in on some bands/albums that I may not have checked out thus far. Please leave comments.
