That's entirely your opinion, and it isn't for you to say that Will should or shouldn't have a certain album on his list. Respect his taste in music, please. Okay, I'm going to be as organized as possible this year. Just so I can have a full list of everything at the end of '08. (Unordered) Top 10: 1. The New Frontiers - Mending 2. Jon Foreman - Winter EP/Spring EP (Since these are part of a complete work, I'm counting them as 1 entry) 3. Utada Hikaru - HEART STATION 4. Nine Inch Nails - Ghosts I-IV 5. E.S.

III & IV: Earth and Air Gnarls Barkley - The Odd Couple Atmosphere - When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold Portishead - Third Nada Surf - Lucky --- Oh and BTW Will, you have Lupe's album on your Off List. His album came out '07.
Oh. Whoops. But in Will's case, since he lives in NA, it was still released in '07. That's a weird case though, should we let it bleed over to '08 as well? I remember having Lupe on my top in '07 and it'd be weird for it to be in 2 years.
I guess it should just be that, if an album was released where you are this year, you can include it. Then again I think I included The Cool on last year's, and I didn't include He Is Legend. Damn, haha.

EDIT: Never thought I'd see this, but DAMN. Two NIN studio albums (not remix) in the same year.
Well, since I've only heard three new albums this year, I can only judge based on what I've heard. It's a tie between if (MSI) and The Slip.
