All of those records are great. In terms of quality, 2008 has been the best year for new music in a while for me. Still need to get around to hearing Songs From The Sparkle Lounge, just didn't hear that much to really entice me to buy it from the samples. Also REALLY looking forward to Jimi Jamison's Crossroads Moment

Kanye West - 808s & Heartbreak

It's probably not a bad album in its own right but I was kinda disappointed considering how much I like the original "Paradox". Mark Boals' vocals weren't as good as I expected.

Journey-Revelation/Jimi Jamison-Crossroads Moment

Tough call for me on which is better. Got to call it even thus far I'd say.

Journey
Jimi Jamison
Dokken

Haven't had a chance to check out Rick Springfield or Alice Cooper's new releases yet but I'm sure they would also make the cut.

Journey - Revelation (just the first disc )
Eden's Curse - The Second Coming
Kathleen Edwards - Asking For Flowers

THe new Cooper is brilliant. Especially the song Vengeance is Mine which has Slash playing guitar. Worth spending a few bucks on.
