It was also difficult deciding how large to make the list, as so many stellar albums were put forth in 2008. I had settled on the number thirty, as with ten, it was too narrow, and forty was too broad. Though thirty is an odd number, I found it just right for the list.
So, in no particular order, I have enclosed my list of the best 30 albums in 2008!
30. The Airborne Toxic Event - Airborne Toxic Event
29. Modern Guilt - Beck
28. In Silico - Pendulum
27. Innerpartysystem - Innerpartysystem
26. Santogold - Santogold
25. Dear Science - TV On The Radio
24. Diamond Hoo Ha - Supergrass
23. Do You Like Rock Music? - British Sea Power
22. Day & Age - The Killers
21. Strength In Numbers - The Music
20. Here We Stand - The Fratellis
19. You & Me - The Walkmen
18. Apocalypso - The Presets
17. Off With Their Heads - Kaiser Chiefs
16. Dig Out Your Soul - Oasis
15. 4:13 Dream - The Cure
14. Made In The Dark - Hot Chip
13. Hold On Now, Youngster... - Los Campesinos!
12. Elephant Shell - Tokyo Police Club
11. Partie Traumatic - Black Kids
10. Fantasy Black Channel - Late Of The Pier
9. Glasvegas - Glasvegas
8. You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into - Does It Offend You, Yeah?
7. Oracular Spectacular - MGMT
6. Antidotes - Foals
5. St Jude - The Courteeners
4. This Is An Emergency - The Pigeon Detectives
3. Music For An Accelerated Culture - HADOUKEN!
2. Cage The Elephant - Cage The Elephant
1. Intimacy - Bloc Party
Honourable Mentions:
Fizzy Pop - Towers Of London
In The Future - Black Mountain
Midnight Boom - The Kills
Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
Most Disappointing Album:
Only By The Night - Kings Of Leon
(I know loads of people love this album, but I found it doesn't even hold a candle to the greatness that is Youth & Young Manhood and Aha Shake Heartbreak.
Will the REAL KoL please rise?)
There ya have it...the albums I thoroughly enjoyed in 2008.
Happy listening in 2009!
