2008-Best of the year

I could lie for you if you want. :)

Truth is I've listened to loaRAB of new albums released this year, but only the ones I've listed (that I've heard) grabbed me straight away and were in a class of their own.
 
In response to Lucifer Sam. You clearly do not know what trolling is. But I have no intention to indulge you on each of your ridiculous citations.

There was no attempt at flamebaiting or causing controversy in any of those posts. They all reflected my genuine opinion. So either you completely fail to see my intent, or are determined to conjecture and make needless arguments.

Once again, what I posted before in this thread reflects my true opinion. 2002 was not such a great year for music of any genre. It had a few very very good albums spanning a nuraber of genres, granted, but most of the supposedly important releases were in reality quite mediocre. If you'd like to go into this in a bit more detail, I'd be perfectly happy too, after all I am about serious discussions, not pathetically throwing around completely needlessly offensive accusations to try to get a one up on somebody.
