I have made a list for the last twenty years and decided to post it here this year. I welcome any suggestions that I might have missed.

As you can see, my taste is different than most "audiophiles", or maybe I haven't met them yet.

2008 was a great year for music.

Please let me know what your favorites are....

TheRaiGuy and Ncary: Thanks for the recommendations. I have heard some of them, but need to have a serious listen.

Azaud: "In Rainbows" by Radiohead is awesome. That was my favorite album of 2007.

It's great to know there are some more "progressive" listeners on Audiogon. I wasn't sure how my list would be accepted.

Thanks for the replies!
Wow! I am amazed that there are people on Audiogon that listen to "my kind" of music. Don't get me wrong, I love classical and jazz, too. I'm a huge Miles Davis fan and I could listen to nothing but Beethoven for the rest of my life, and be perfectly content. This is great!

Thank all of you for the recommendations. Now that I know there are people with similar tastes to mine, I will be using this forum a lot more.
