Okay, so we all have different tastes in music and there was NO WAY I thought we could come together to make a complete list for you. Instead, I decided that each of us should make a list for you of our top five albums of 2008.
Apparently our tastes converged because we have a few in common. Our collective favorites were:
Jack’s Mannequin’s The Glass Passenger
Fall Out Boy’s Folie a Deux
Forever the Sickest Kids’ Underdog Alma Mater
