I luv Beyonce & LiLWayne just as much as the next person but come on now I think India Arie should be on this list!! Her new cd is the best thing since sliced bread.. Literally!! I haven't been able to take it out of the cd player since I bought it. My friend sent me this link to preview it before i picked it up & as soon as I finished listening I ran out and got the cd. Check it you for yourself and tell me what you think. Heres the link: http://www.iheartmusic.com/cc-common/mfeatures/indiaarieOD/

India Arie can't be on the list because her album hasn't been released yet. The list only dealt with albums of 2008.
We here at BnR have a moral conundrum with this post. It is obviously some type of "viral" marketing from I Heart Music designed to push users to listen to the new India Arie album through I Heart Music.
However, none of you loyal readers of BnR have any interest in India Arie. We are a rock news and views website.
But we do not believe in censorship so every post is important to us. We will never censor your views.
That leaves us at an impasse...leave the obvious marketing ploy up on our site or take it down and risk being called hypocrites.
That is why I chose to respond in a comment, which calls the post out as an obvious marketing ploy and still leaves the original post in tact.

Glad to be of help Jeff. Like you, it surprised me when I looked online for sample code for a guest book and couldn't find anything for such a common application...
