Best of 2008: Music

My freshman year at college I experienced a revolution in my musical tastes, partially because I met people with all new tastes, but also because I finally downloaded iTunes. This technology helped make purchasing and downloading instantaneous.

Fast forward to 2008 and you will see technology make another monumental change in my music-listening habits. Thanks to online music streaming sites (mainly Pandora), I can now listen to a wide mix of music without purchasing any of it! Nevertheless, I bought some of the CDs I liked the most. Here are my top 5 albums from the year:

• Dreaming Out Loud by OneRepublic
• Viva la Vida by Coldplay
• Revelation by Third Day
• Opposite Way by Leeland
• A Hundred Million Suns by Snow Patrol
