I finally managed to get down to it and sum up some of the great music that has made 2008 great for me and it's mostly LPs, which I suppose is a change in itself, as for the last 14 years of DJing my music purchases have been mostly made up of singles, but moving on to buying CDs and having an emusic subscription has changed that. Anyway - on with the list (it's not in order, but the best is saved to the last):
