Taylor makes top album of the year list

Blender (Via Perez) compiled their list of best albums of 2008 and Taylor made the cut, barely, but still.  Pretty good considering her CD's only been out for two weeks.

32. Taylor Swift, Fearless
How much heartbreak can anyone cram into 18 years? If you’re Taylor Swift, a lot. Boys are to this Nashville blonde what booze is to Homer Simpson: the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems. The kicky twang pop on her second album shows she’s country by accident as much as by design; if her parents had moved to L.A. instead of Tennessee, she could have been Avril Lavigne. But Avril never wrote a song as smart as “That’s the Way I Loved You.”
Download “You Belong With Me,” “Fearless,” “That’s the Way I Loved You”

  Way to go Taylor!

I wonder is Conor Oberst popular in Nashville? He sure seems like he'd be with his album. I wasn't much of a country fan but his tunes are irresistible.

I highly recommend hearing his song "I don't want to die (in the hospital)." You can get the link from this blog post on The Dirty Truth: http://www.stophospitalinfections.org/2008/11/i_dont_want_to_die_in_the_hosp.html
