Hype Machine’s doing a Music Blog Zeitgeist for 2008 and December 15th is the last day of submission. We’ll be posting a more in depth review of 2008 in the coming days as there’s still a bit of a backlog to listen to, but here’s our preliminary top 10 subject to minor changes. 2008 was a good year with lots of great albums, but there wasn’t a definitive best even among the top 10, perhaps the age of perfectionism is a bygone dream. Enjoy!
