Because there’s no other way that more accurately represents a year. And in this case, its only 3 lists, that are honestly kind of arbitrary. But regardless, I now present to you the Vinyl Meltdown top 10’s of 2008:

1. Flying Lotus - Los Angeles
2. Panacea - A Mind on a Ship Through Time
3. Jackson Conti - Sujinho

6. Gnarls Barkley - The Odd Couple
7. Fat Jon - Repaint Tomorrow
8. Samon Kawamura - Unfold

peace,
-the judge
