From here on in I'm going to be listening to 2008 releases, with a view to coming up with my Top 10 albums of 2008....plenty of decent contenders this year, so it could come down to the wire, unlike 2007 where Doomsday Afternoon won it by a country mile! And the contenders are (in no particular order):
1 Beardfish
2 Il Bacio Della Medusa
3Pendragon
4 Cynic
5 Brighteye Brison
6 The Tangent
7 Day Without Dawn
8 Believe
9 Opeth
10 Birds And Buildings
11 Tempano
12 Simon Says
13Moon Safari
14 Le Orme
15 The Reasoning
16 Yak
17 Ayreon
18 Matthew parmenter
19 The Gourishankar
20 Presto Ballet
21 Edensong
22 One Shot
23 Talisma

Damn, you must rack up the miles (sorry kilometers). If I have a nice 8-10 minute song que'd up after I drop the kids, that is about my commute. Epics are usually 2-3 trips. That's why I have owned my car for 8 years and only have 47,000 miles on it.
Isn't it illegal to wear headphones while driving? I believe it is in the states.

Yes, it is illegal but I don't drive. My commute involves bus, train and subway (The London Underground) and takes near enough 2 hours each way, so plenty of time to rack up the albums.

Ah, my misunderstanding. So you have to take all three separately? Has to get old but people do what they have to. Cheers

 Chessboard - Tempus Fugit  Bantom To Behemoth - Birds And Buildings The latter is an excellent album, certainly worthy of top 10 status in my humble opinion!
