Although many social commentators on pop culture are lamenting the death of the album, as new technology has made it easy to download just singles, I believe that 2008 was a great year for music albums as demonstrated by my top 5 pics.
These were albums that I couldn't help but listen to from beginning to end, over and over. The different songs were placed in a specific order to either tell a story or create an emotional response for the listener. Most managed to accomplish both, except for Feed The Animals which is too convoluted to tell a story but is brilliant in its thought process, leaving the listener's voice and feet exhausted from constant singing and dancing.

While on the topic of "Best of 2008" here is a list of the 5 movies I enjoyed the most this past year. These are movies that kept you thinking after you left the theatre. Movies where you felt like you knew or wanted to know the characters outside of the big screen. Movies where you forgot that you were sitting in a dark room full of strangers. Movies that gave your emotions a work out.

Hopefully 2009 will continue to bring wonderfully entertaining artistic pleasures to our eyes and ears.
