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.

For extra geekiness, here's a little histogram that tracks the number of records on this list, so far, by the year they were released (in five-year intervals):
