In case you missed our last efforts of begging for your favorites in movies, DVDs, games, and TV, we're looking to narrow down the best of 2008 as chosen by our readers. Next up is music, which, by the looks of our handy list, had an above average year. Sure, the list is chock full of favorites, so we've enlisted the help of our friends at Blender.com for some advice. Check out the reviews of each album before making this monumentally important decision that will affect every one of your lives:

Lil Wayne, Tha Carter III
Metallica, Death Magnetic
Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Real Emotional Trash
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!
Hayes Carll, Trouble in Mind
AC/DC, Black Ice
TV on the Radio, Dear Science
Death Cab For Cutie, Narrow Stairs
My Morning Jacket, Evil Urges
Bon Iver, For Emma, Forever Ago

Okay, great. Now make your choice and check back December 29 to see the people's choice.
