And so it begins: the first ten of the 2008 My Favorite 100 Albums list. Something like 17 new entries, and nothing's in the same spot as it was two years ago. Very exciting.
I rather like a lot of the videos I found for these albums (all 100). So be sure to check them out, if you can.
(also, for those paying close attention, note that this is a different 100-91 than was posted on Friday afternoon. things changed.)
