Rock Insider's Top 10 Albums Of 2008

I almost didn't compile this list. This year was spent focusing on other projects and less about listen to new music. Still I felt compelled to finalize this list as a way to bring closure to this blog for 2008. On a personal level this year sucked Obviously I'm biased towards the 3 albums I released on JAXART Records this year as well as The Monolators full length LP Don't Dance - on which I played bass and keys. Therefore I've decided to omit all of my projects from my end of the year list. That doesn't mean they weren't amazing!! Please if you have a second - check out the JAXART vinyl store and purchase a record or two. I need to reduce inventory by Jan 1st!!! Otherwise enjoy my list below!!! JAX'S TOP 10 Albums Of 2008 1.
