Q's most popular albums of the year would be more appropriate. Music critics should have an extensive knowledge of music beyond the collection HMV stocks on its shelves, after all it is your job.

I cannot argue with many of the albums that made it into the Top 50 for 2008 but for me there have been two stand out albums that should have been included. My personal favourite, Saturnalia - The Gutter Twins and Jackson Browne's Time the Conqueror.

Good list, no doubt, but there are a couple of obvious omissions: James for one, and what about the Ting Tings?

Late Of The Pier's 'Fantasy Black Channel' deserved to at least be in the top 10...
It's an amazing album that's got a large chance of winning the Mercury Prize.
