2008-Best of the year

[Golfkid]

I got put off by all the fuss and when I skimmed through the album I was left wondering if I was missing something here. I really didn't give it enough time for the album to click with me...

...controversial I know.

Self Titled rules. Those dudes know melody.

 

[bluegrizzly5]

him as a person or his music?

No offense Jay, but I really hated the new Black Keys album.

Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
The Roots - Phrenology
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Tom Waits - Alice, Blood Money
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead - Source Tags and Codes
Sigur Ros - ( )
Spoon - Kill the Moonlight

Just to name a few.

Bold denotes albums which are arguably the artists' best releases.

He's pretty big in Aus for some odd reason, I saw him live in February and it was really great. He does have a pretty voice.

I think I am the only person on this forum who is not a Nick Cave fan.

 

[Ninjas can be gangsters]

lol. even 2007 was better than 2002.

 

[Smart a$$]

Definitely agree.

 

[Raven2099]

Yeah, I thought 'A-Punk' was catchy, but their other two singles were awful. There was nothing to 'Oxford Comma' or that Cape Cod one for me.

[Wasabi MiLK]

I'm not in the band so I won't take offense.



Very overlooked I agree. Got into it about a year and a half ago, really liked the new album.

 

[Itachi 24]

Jenny Lewis-Acid Tongue
Death Cab for Cutie-Narrow Stairs
Keane-Perfect Symmetry
The Classic Crime-The Silver Cord
I am saving the last spot for the new Killers record

 

[//Luseroo.♥$]

Thaks very much my friend.

 

[starwilliams36]

I got the absolute opposite impression, it felt far more organic and less polished than the previous Opeth albums.

 

[Kery]

gorillaz are EPIC **** man

 

[Deontae]

I actually agree. The vast majority of what I listen to that was released in this decade is between 2006 and the present.

 

[xxforeverrxx]

1. Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely
2. Portugal. The Man - Censored Colors
3. Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours
4. British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music?
5. Death Cab For Cutie - Narrow Stairs

Note: These are the only 5 albums I have that came out this year, ranked in order of how I liked them. I'm sure there are plenty of good releases I missed.
