THE VOICE OF THE MUSIC BLOGOSPHERE.

It's here! The most-anticipated year-end list in music, The HYPE MACHINE's 2008 Music Blog Zeitgeist!

BLOG FRESH RADIO have teamed up with THE HYPE MACHINE to present a mega 5-part special, counting down the 50 Best Albums of the year, as voted by music blogs around the world.

We're joined on the show by some of the most influential music blogs in the game, who will chat about some of the albums on the list and also tell us about a few of their favorites from 2008 that may have got overlooked.

Big shout to the crew at iMeem for their help in customizing a player for us. You can stream all 50 albums in their entirety over at their site.
