My picks for top ten albums of 2008
1. Coldplay – Viva la Vida (I don’t understand why other people don’t rank this #1)
2. Kings of Leon – Only by the Night (I hate to put this as #2, maybe it’s actually #1.5 – I can not believe that they aren’t a bigger hit in America)
3. TV on the Raido – Dear Science
4. My Morning Jacket – Evil Urges
5. Bob Dylan – Tell Tale Signs (normally for me, Bob would be #1 but these are kind of leftovers from earlier recordings)
6. Beck – Morning Guilt (a genius, as always)
7. Vampire Weekend – Vampire Weekend
8. MGMT – Oracular Spectacular
9. David Byrne and Brian Eno – Everything That Happens Will Happen Today (come on, it’s David Byrne and BRIAN ENO!!!)
10. The Racontures – Consolers of the Lonely (leaked out without telling the press, genius. one of the genuine blues-rock bands out today)
