Live, in person, fresh out of the oven, here are the official tallies of our 2008 end-of-year reader polls. Discover within our readership a rampant love for Megapuss, Aziz, Aziz feat. Megapuss, Megapuss feat. Aziz, Little Joy, Thom Yorke, Stoniest slices in town (sic), Andy Walo and Fleet Foxes.

Once more for the new folks: All of our polls contained reader-submitted choices (no fooling! “Nothing” won fifth best album with 97 votes). Further, multiple votes were actively encouraged for the sake of good competition. (What a mistake.) In other words if something looks off, don’t blame us. Have fun, don’t be sore losers but do feel free to discuss your votes, and keep your eyes peeled for the individual breakdowns – to be posted soon – wherein you can see all choices, all votes, all polls. For the analyst in you, each entry is followed by the number of votes, and then the percentage of the total vote in parentheses.

Without further ado…
