Top 100 Albums of 2008!

With every list that deals with ranking, comes controversy. I'm pretty sure this one will be no exception. Now for the past couple of weeks I've been wondering all around SL, asking people in various clubs, stores and music groups about getting their top ten albums of 2008, I even extended the due date of the list by a week and managed to collect a good healthy top 100 list! Also I'm pretty proud to say that Carter III does not appear on this! So read, enjoy, discuss later around the water cooler.
