Top 10 of 2008

January 5th, 2009 by Ipequey

Ya know, I put a lot of time, thought and re-listening to the albums I’ve rated highly in 2008. I was kind of surprised to find out:
1) a few of the albums that I really liked this year (like MGMT’s Oracular Spectacular) came out in previous years,
2) a few albums that I really liked listening to and thought would make this list weren’t as “good” when I compared them to the rest of the list.

At any rate, here ya go!

   I like how I didn’t include any mp3 files and you included at least one for each album. :D

   [...] Man, I love Okkervil River. Their songs all make me sad, but that good cathartic sad that feels invigorating. This song almost sounds happy at the beginning, but it gets you by the end. (via Indie Paws) [...]
