Top 10 Songs Of 2008

I’ve taken the opportunity to revisit the albums that I’ve personally heard and/or reviewed this year, and compiled a list of the top 10 songs that were released on albums this year.  This list has NOTHING to do with chart action, or albums recorded in 2007 or earlier, but is solely a list of the 10 best songs I’ve heard on albums this year.  I’d dare say this list makes a pretty decent compilation.

1. “When God Ran” – Kingsmen
2. “Glorious” – Mike Lefevre Quartet
3. “Holy Of Holies” – The Dills
4. “Hallelujah Praise The Lamb” – Talley Trio
5. “He Loves Me” – N’Harmony
6. “Welcome To Heaven” – Triumphant
7. “I Cast My Bread Upon The Water” – Gold City
8. “The Blood On My Hands” – Skyline Boys
9. “I Will Sing Of My Redeemer” – Talley Trio
10. “Love Like The Sun” – Prophets

It’s hard to narrow down these songs, but these 10 have all stood out to me as songs that have knocked my socks off when I heard them.  I could very easily come up with another 5-6 that are probably just as deserving to be in this list, but this is my personal top 10 at this point in time.

Top 5 Albums of 2008

I’ve gone back over reviews and drafts that didn’t see daylight (yet) and have come up with my list of the top 5 albums released in 2008. So without further adieu:

2008′s Top 5 Albums

1. Mike Lefevre Quartet – Nothin’ But Good
2. Kingsmen – When God Ran
3. Talley Trio – Life Goes On
4. Triumphant – Intermission

These are 5 excellent albums, and each has its own merit. You can’t go wrong with any of these projects.
