It was a good year for music but not for the music industry. With this uncertainty the music industry is faced with today I'm glad to see musicians continue to make good music. Many of you reading this list will agree or dissagree with some of my picks for this year's best albums and I would like to see what some of you picked for YOUR top albums of 2008, so please do share. If you are wondering why I did not include 'In Rainbows' in this list... well it's because 'In Rainbows' was released on October 10, 2007 and I know that even those without a computer got to listen to it as well... and besides, it was last year's number one if you ask me.Cheers!-SSA[50] Unkle - End TitlesKey Tracks: 'Chemical' & 'Ghosts'[49] Underoath - Lost In The Sound Of SeparationKey Tracks: 'Breathing In A New Mentality' & 'A Fault Line, A Fault Of Mine'[48] Vampire Weekend - Vampire WeekendKey Tracks: 'A-Punk' & 'Mansard Roof'[47] Cold War Kids - Loyalty To LoyaltyKey Tracks: 'Something Is Not Right With Me' & 'Every Valley Is Not A Lake'[46] The Hold Steady - Stay PositveKey Tracks: 'Constructive Summer' & 'Sequestered In Memphis'[45] R.E.M. - AccelerateKey Tracks: 'Living Well Is The Best Revenge' & 'Hollow Man'[44] The Walkmen - You & MeKey Tracks: 'Dónde Está la Playa' & 'In The New Year'[43] The Roots - Rising DownKey Tracks: 'Rising Up' & '75 Bars'[42] Esoteric - The Maniacal ValeKey Tracks: 'Circle' & 'The Order Of Destiny'[41] Primal Scream - Beautiful FutureKey Tracks: 'Can't Go Back' & 'Beautiful Future'[40] The Raconteurs - Consolers Of The LonelyKey Tracks: 'Salute Your Solution' & 'Many Shades Of Black'[39] Sigur Ros - Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaustKey Tracks: 'Gobbledigook' & 'Inní mér syngur vitleysingur'[38] Okkervil River - The Stand InsKey Tracks: 'Lost Coastlines' & 'Blue Tulip'[37] Conor Oberst - Conor OberstKey Tracks: 'Cape Canaveral' & 'Lenders In The Temple'[36] Nine Inch Nails - Ghosts Vol. I-IVKey Tracks: (Any and all)[35] Gnarls Barkley - The Odd CoupleKey Tracks: 'Who's Gonna Save Your Soul' & 'Would Be Killer'[34] Mates Of State - Re-arrange UsKey Tracks: 'Get Better' & 'The Re-Arranger'[33] Black Mountain - In The FutureKey Tracks: 'Tyrants' & 'Bright Lights'[32] Hot Chip - Made In The DarkKey Tracks: 'Shake A Fist' & 'Ready For The Floor'[31] Mount Eerie - Lost WisdomKey Tracks: "Lost Wisdom' & 'Flaming Home'[30] Santogold - SantogoldKey Tracks: 'You'll Find A Way' & 'Creator Vs Switch'[29] Ra Ra Riot - The Rhumb LineKey Tracks: 'Ghost Under Rocks' & 'Too Too Too Fast'[28] Silver Jews - Lookout Mountain, Lookout SeaKey Tracks: 'What Is Not But Could Be If' & 'San Francisco B.C.'[27] Calexico - Carried To DustKey Tracks: 'Victor Jara's Hands' & 'Writer's Minor Holiday'[26] Girl Talk - Feed The AnimalsKey Tracks: 'Set It Off' & 'Shut The Club Down'[25] Autechre - QuaristiceKey Tracks: 'Perlence' & 'Simmm'[24] Spiritualized - Songs In A&EKey Tracks: 'Soul On Fire' & 'Sweet Talk'[23] The Cure - 4:13 DreamKey Tracks: 'Underneath The Stars' & 'Hungry Ghost'[22] Crystal Castles - Crystal CastlesKey Tracks: 'Crimewave' & 'Magic Spells'[21] Lil Wayne - Tha Carter IIIKey Tracks: 'Mr Carter' & 'A Milli'[20] Fucked Up - The Chemistry Of Common LifeKey Tracks: 'Royal Swan' & 'Golden Seal'[19] Fleet Foxes - Fleet FoxesKey Tracks: 'White Winter Hymnal' & 'Ragged Wood'[18] Cut Copy - In Ghost ColoursKey Tracks: 'Feel The Love' & 'Nobody Lost, Nobody Found'[17] Foals - AntidotesKey Tracks: 'Red Socks Pugie' & 'Cassius'[16] Sun Kil Moon - AprilKey Tracks: 'The Light' & 'Tonight The Sky'[15] The Verve - ForthKey Tracks: 'Rather Be' & 'Noise Epic'[14] Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!Key Tracks: 'Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!' & 'Midnight Man'[13] Beck - Modern GuiltKey Tracks: 'Orphans' & 'Chemtrails'[12] MGMT - Oracular SpectacularKey Tracks: 'Weekend Wars' & 'Electric Feel'[11] Goldfrapp - Seventh TreeKey Tracks: 'Caravan Girl' & 'A&E'[10] The Bug - London ZooKey Tracks: 'Angry' & 'Insane'[09] No Age - NounsKey Tracks: 'Eraser' & 'Teen Creeps'[08] Elbow - The Seldom Seen KidKey Tracks: 'Grounds For Divorce' & 'On A Day Like This'[07] TV On The Radio - Dear ScienceKey Tracks: 'Halfway Home' & 'Family Tree'[06] She & Him - Volume OneKey Tracks: 'Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?' & 'I Should Have Known Better'[05] Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks The Jicks - Real Emotional TrashKey Tracks: 'Elmo Delmo' & 'Real Emotional Trash'[04] Deerhunter - MicrocastleKey Tracks: 'Agoraphobia' & 'Microcastle'[03] M83 - Saturdays = YouthKey Tracks: 'Couleurs' & 'Graveyard Girl'[02] Portishead - ThirdKey Tracks: 'Hunter' & 'Plastic'[01] Flying Lotus - Los AngelesKey Tracks: 'Comet Course' & 'Riot'Read more…
