Top Albums of 2008 [in no particular order]

Well, well, well! Who knew Beyonce's little sister had so much talent? I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed Hadley St Dreams. There isn't one song on the album that I would skip over, and that's all I ask of any music artist. When it came to originality, talent, vision, and execution Solange definitely delivered. In my opinion Solange gave us the album of the year [sorry Kanye and Beyonce]. I will even go as far to say that Hadley St Dreams is one of the standout albums of the past decade. How about them apples?! Other must have albums of 2008 include both Kanye albums [even though Graduation was released last year, Kanye did so much with it this year that it deserves to make my list], Holly by Justin Nozuka, 19 by Adele, and Frank by Amy Winehouse which was originally released in 2003 across the pond, but was rereleased as a deluxe edition with exclusive demo tracks and rare performances on June 8th of this year.

i must agree with most of your choices except 808's and the justin nozuka album but thats because i have heard it. i would have preferred to have seen john legends or raphael saadiqs album in there.

The John Legend joint is weak [only like 3 good songs on there], and Saadiq will never make my list lol.
