I can't really make a list since I've heard very little from this year, but I agree with your number one choice. This is definitely my favorite song from this year.  |

Why do that when it will be obsolete a few days later? Why not do it in early '09 so that it has a year to make it to the top of people's charts?

He's shooting for the Proggy awards. You know the type of music that is released just before year end to get in under the wire and it is still fresh in the mind of the voters. -------------

I'll wait until the end of the year, but can't see anything topping Marillion's "Real Tears For Sale". Absolutely stunning. E -------------

VdGG-Over the Hill
The Mars Volta-Hard to pick one song off Bedlam, the whole album flows so well, but I'll probably go with Goliath for the awesome 25 minute version they played live
Nachtmystium-Ghosts of Grace (i know they're not here but I find their newest album pretty proggy)
Opeth-Heir Apparent, Lotus Eater, or maybe Burden
I haven't had too much money this year so I haven't bought many albums
