Time for holiday cheer, food and celebration, and Best of '08 Lists.

I recently received my end of the year SPIN Magazine Best of 2008 issue, and it inspired me to do a little list making of my own. This is not necessarily the best stuff that came out this year, but these are the movies, songs, and albums that I liked most and got the most play on my computer/iPod/etc. I stuck to stuff that came out this year, with the only exceptions being albums that were re-released on new labels, or singles that were released this year, but came from previous albums. I also tried to stick to major label/wide release stuff, just to narrow it down a bit. Keep reading to see my full lists.
