Friday's Burning Musical Question - Week #4

The folks over at 'The Music Memoirs' have thrown me a curveball this week - as there's very little music released this year that I listen to!

Oh, well. Let's give it a try.

Top 5 albums from the first half of 2008

1.) Opeth - Watershed (released 5/19/08)


Opeth - Watershed


2.) Portishead - Third (released 4/28/08)


Portishead - Third


3.) A Tribe Called Quest - The Best of A Tribe Called Quest (released 4/1/08)


A Tribe Called Quest - The Best Of


4.) Michael Jackson - Thriller (25th Anniversary Edition) (released 2/8/08)


Michael Jackson - Thriller 25


5.) Dream Theater - Greatest Hit (..And 21 Other Pretty Cool Songs) (released 3/29/08)


Dream Theater - Greatest Hit (...And 21 Other Pretty Cool Songs)



Meh. It says something when a.) I had to struggle to think of anything to put on the list and b.) when I finally did think of something, 3 out of 5 were compilation albums or re-releases of good material that came back out in the 80's.

The record industry needs to wake up.

I love the Portishead album. It was great to seem them return to the scene.

You know, I have never checked out Dream Theater, but I keep hearing so much about them. Okay, I'm going to suck it up and give 'em a listen. I greatest hits album should be a good place to start.
