Sure, 2008 may be done, but the list-making still continues… This year, five contributors to the Dallas Observer‘s music section were asked to participate in the Village Voice‘s annual Pazz & Jop critics’ poll, which compiles the lists of hundreds of music critics across the country into one massive, hopefully conclusive, aggregate list. Over the next couple of days, we’ll be posting various excerpts of their choices for the best of ’08.
