Best of 2008: EPs

Today I've decided to look back on another category in music: the underappreciated and underutilized EP.

Best EPs of 2008

10. Princeton- The Bloomsbury EP

This west coast band put together something short and boppy.  Review

She proved she was more than pop rock with this EP which includes a cover of "Folsom Prison Blues". Review

8. ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead- Festival Thyme

This EP was an excellent teaser for the band

's forthcoming 2009 album.  Review

Imagine if Tom Waits fronted a garage band and you'll get the idea.  Review
