As the year comes to a close, MySpace Music has selected the 50 albums we think you should know from 2008. This is the first time we have ever created such a list and we are excited to present you our choices, which are listed in no particular order. There are no rankings.
(Seriously, who needs rankings, anyway?)
Instead, these are simply the 50 albums we couldn’t stop listening to over the past 12 months. Because we enjoyed these records so much, we also asked the 50 artists below to stream their album on the site. Check out the list below and the days in which they will be streaming from each artist’s page.
And, since we all had albums that we loved this year that aren’t on this list, let us know what your top albums were in the comments section. Enjoy!
