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!
