PART 1 - 50 to 21
And so the wait is over all the votes have been counted and the results are in for Altsounds Top 50 Albums of 2008. It was meant to be just a Top 20 but seeing as we got a lot of mixed results and some intriguing little gems of albums popped-up, we decided to extend the Top 20 to a Top 50! Now you certainly won't all agree with the results I'm sure but we can't always keep everyone happy. Anyway here goes the Top 50 Albums of 2008 as voted for by the reviewing staff of Altsounds, enjoy.
