Albums Of The Year: 2008
I've put off my annual list this year for long enough! I've found it really hard this year to pick a top 5 this year, so much so that I almost didn't bother writing this post, but that would have been daft! So here they are - my top 5 albums, followed by a (long) list of honourable mentions - albums I just couldn't leave out!
Top 5 albums of the year (in no particular order):
MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
Kings Of Leon - Only By The Night
My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges
Band Of Horses - Cease To Begin
The Raconteurs - Consolers Of The Lonely
Honourable mentions go to:
Everest - Ghost Notes
Death Cab for Cutie - Narrow Stairs
Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
The Futureheads - This Is Not The Word
Glassvegas - Glassvegas
Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Cardinology
Sigur Rós - Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust
Supergrass - Diamond Hoo Ha
Songs of the year:
Everest - Rebels In The Roses
Biffy Clyro - Mountains
MGMT - Time To Pretend
Foo Fighters - Let It Die
Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Fix It
2008 proved by far the hardest year since I've begun posting my top 5 albums, but this can only be a good thing as it means there was a lot of good music! I hope 2009 is just as hard, if not harder!
