2008 My Top Albums By Clark Benson  [84 more lists]

NOTE: these are the rankings as they stood at the end of this particular year (typically produced in January, because it's important to give Q4 records a chance to breathe and i am not one to listen to a record over and over again right when i get it (i hate to burn our on an album). Eventually, when i get around to Rating everything, i will generate a "current" list of records from this year, inevitably different.

There’s a theme here. Only a handful of musicians under 30, and probably half 40+. Makes me feel young. 41 is the new 33 1/3. ANYhow, overall a lot of good, even great albums, tho perhaps no absolute killers.

And before we begin i must note that I don’t think I’ve counted EPs before, but if they did Ben Nichols “The Last Pale Light In The West” (“Concept EP” based on a Cormac McCarthy book, internet-only in 08)
would be Top Ten and One Day As A Lion (Zach De La Rocha and the always phenomenal ex-Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore) would be Top 20, and one of the Jesu EPs as well (not sure if that was 08 or late 07)
