The Top 20 Dallas Releases of 2008
Ranking the best albums Dallas, Denton and Fort Worth had to offer this past year
It's been a year, hasn't it? Maybe not the greatest year in DFWd music history—but not certainly a bad one, either. At the very least, this year's crop was a deep, quality one.
So, on that note, here are my picks for the best 20 albums from our region in 2008. To see deeper analysis on these picks, to listen to our year-end podcast and to see our staff's picks for best national releases of the year, head on over to our music blog, DC-9 at Night (blogs.dallasobserver.com/dc9), where we've basically been hitting you over the head with year-end coverage for the past couple weeks. It never ends, does it?
