Hey guys, love the site…great best of ‘08 list. A lot coincide with my own list. MGMT, Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, Dodos, TVOTR…didn’t give Metallica a chance, to be honest, but will have to check it out (they must be doing something right as they’ve sold so many albums for so long). Keep up the good work

Not sure about Metallica puking all over your otherwise perfect list of albums of the year.

You guys really know how to pick ‘em.
I don’t think I fully disagree with any of the albums chosen for this list.

Bon Iver (especially), Fleet Foxes and Dr. Dog changed my year(and life).

I just downloaded the crap out of this list. Thanks guys! I’m especially happy that Dr. Dog made your list…that band and album are just not getting enough love. Those guys know exactly what they’re doing, and I can’t get enough of it!!!

Agreed. Girl Talk sucks. Let’s fire Corey. I kiiiiiidddd… How can you fire someone when you love them so much and we make no money?

On a serious note, I will say that the Black Keys album was good, but come on folks… it’s nothing too new from them. Agree that it would make my Top 25.

Cor, I was pretty surprised that no hip hop made the list too. I think it’s more a reflection of it being a poor year for hip hop releases more than us not giving any love. I’m obviously biased though.

I feel like Lil Wayne and Cool Kids were the only two hip-hop releases of interest this year, and neither of them deserves top ten inclusion, IMO.

Folks, there are other types of music besides indie rock – whatever that means. The fact that not one rap album made it on is also a pox on our otherwise stellar list.

Yeah the Black Keys had a great album, but the list is pretty good.

I can’t get “Skinny Love”out of my head!

I think Black Keys would likely have made it into the 16-20 range, but not the others you mentioned.

And no, including Girl Talk wasn’t a joke. Unfortunately, we went with a democratic approach to this year’s list, so even Uncle Corey’s votes counted…
