I know all the music bloggers and magazines have been writing about their favorite albums, songs and moments of 2008, but instead of reading another journalist's massive "best of" list for 2008, I'm more curious to know YOUR favorites. Was there an album you continually had on repeat in your car or your iTunes play list? What song could you absolutely not get out of your head no matter how hard you tried? What about your least favorite song you seemingly couldn't escape from wherever you went — be it your drive to work, shopping at the mall or at your favorite bar? I'd love to read your "best of" lists! Plus, it'll give me some new music to listen to as I ring in 2009!
Below, I'll post some of the music I've featured on my blog this year — hinting at 10 of my favorites to give you some possibilities of new music to check out for yourself. Take a listen. I think you'll enjoy them as well.
