8 From ’08 ∞ Ryko Ryko Unday

Back in the late ‘90s, early ‘00s, Rkyo tinted their CD gases green. This made it SUPER EASY to find good music in music stores. Whenever you spied a green case, bingo – good music.

Fast-forward to 2008 where digital music is king. No more green cases. In fact, you don’t even need cases anymore. But Ryko is still putting out good music. Here are 8 songs from the 2008 Ryko catalog broken down into = Band ~ Website ~ Album Title ~ Genre (using food as a metaphor) ~ Release Date.
