Obligatory Albums of the Year 2008 Post

Here’s my music round of the year, seeing as everyone else seems to be doing it.

I don’t usually like doing music-related blog posts, mainly because not everyone who reads my blog will be into my music taste. For example, if I see a CSS developer who’s in to U2, then no matter how good he is at web development, I automatically think he’s an idiot.

Anyway, here’s my top 10 albums of this year:

1. Titus Andronicus - The Airing of Grievances
2. Abe Vidoga - Skeleton
3. Wild Beasts - Limbo, Panto
4. Lovvers - Think EP
5. Deerhunter - Microcastle / Weird Era Cont.
6. Pete and the Pirates - Little Death
7. Crystal Antlers - Crystal Antlers
8. No Age - Nouns
9. Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
10. The Fall - Imperial Wax Solvent

    Ugh, U2! I’d rather drink faeces than listen to that poison!

  • I could never get to grips with the new Deerhunter and same goes for Crystal Antlers. Whole heartedly agree with you on 2/3/4 No Age and Titus both narrowly escaped being included.

    No Age best album cover though?
