LastFM's Best of 2008

ok...some people in here are starting to sound too bitter. maybe we should all lighten up for a while. we all have our opinions in music, and we all love the music we like, but calling millions of people idiots cause they don't like the same music as us it's just ignorant. honestly in my opinion, in that list there wasn't a single bad album, maybe not all of them are great, but they are not awful.
I think some of the people in here just seem to think offending others will impression . well it doesn't really...

p.s.: go to steven wilson's myspace account and take a look at his influences. even for a prog fan, u r not cool.
 
What no Radiohead? I think Katy Perry deserved her spot. She made a damn catchy solid Pop album. I don't care what the haters say, I pump that album everyday. The age of indie music is upon us. Rejoice for pop punk is almost dead.
 
Instant loss of credibility with Jack Johnson. Entirely too much Coldplay, seeing as Viva is one of their worst two albums. Also The Last Shadow Puppets shouldn't be on there. I'm a huge Alex Turner fan but that album just wasn't that good.
 
It was excpected that Viva La Vida would be #1, but I didn't think they would dominate the whole list.
The only real miss was having Jack Johnson in the top albums IMO.
 
I'm implying that i'm not going to be listening to any of them anytime soon.

In other worRAB there's nothing there that grabs me as being spectacularly amazing that warrants being heard before the list of albums I have already chosen to check out.

And i'm not in the loop when it comes to whatever pitchfork or NME or whoever are hyping these day. I prefer to go looking for and checking out stuff by myself.
 
I listed at least 15 albums I liked from this year in another thread.

And just because i've not heard any full albums doesn't mean i've not heard songs off them.

I'm so sorry I can seem to muster any enthusiasm to listen to Foals or Fleet Foxes for your benefit.
 
Don't, at least three songs on it warrant your attention; KiRAB, Time to pretend and Electric feel, I consider all of them to be amongst the best singles this year. I believe you can youtube all of them.
 
Lawl. I don't care what you listen to or what you like. I just find it ironic how you pigeonhole your taste in music based on eccentric prejudices. Bon Iver might be overhyped to bollocks but his debut album was nonetheless excellent. If you don't enjoy it, that's not my business to care.

Most of that list is shite anyways.
 
Debut list:

happy to see Bon Iver there, The Last Shadow Puppets I expected them to be higher, and really glad for the nuraber 1: great album indeed.


2008 releases:

everything as expected...

top tracks of 2008

no,no,no...not that I have anything against them, but too much Coldplay in there...and not just the good songs from the album.
 
I can't say my curiosity is particularly piqued - MGMT sounRAB to me like just another flavour of the month band. I probably will check them out sometime but they're not high priority... especially when I still haven't heard Bon Iver.
