    My favorites this year are:

    TMV - The Bedlam in Goliath
    The Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely

    They are really the only 2 that stand out for me - so far :D

    No love for Beck's Modern Guilt? That's by far one of my Favs this year, I'm also rocking out to:

    MGMT - Oracular Spectacular (Just saw these guys live at lolla last night!)
    Nine Inch Nails - The Slip (Not amazing overall but there are some badass tracks in there)
    The Gutter Twins - Saturnalia (Also just saw them yesterday)
    My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges

    all from 2008, its going to be a great year for music, especially as we get a new KOL!

    I would go with R.E.M. Accelerate. For now anyway.
  • TDMize15TDMize15 Posts: 166
    R.E.M.- Accelerate
    Raconteurs- Consoler of the Lonely

    Both great albums.

    Evil Urges and MGMT's album are the absolute shit. I am hooked on those two.

  • karmapolicekarmapolice Posts: 41
    Sigur Ròs - Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum End

    Portishead - Third
    Nine Inch Nails - The Slip

    I still need to listen to the new Beck album..
  • mrwalkerbmrwalkerb Posts: 1,015
    what's up with everyone putting DBT on this list? I mean that album is a savage disappointment and a waste of time-and a lot of time since it's like 9 fucking hours long and features all of 4 good songs. It's so bad I almost skipped them at this fest I was at last month, they were good and played 3 of the 4 songs I liked of BTCD but still arggh they were soo good and now this.


    my list:
    radiohead
    Cons
    Born Ruffians
    Vampire Weekend
    beck
    gutter twins
    Flight of the Conchords

    i think i might agree, and i'm not a huge rem fan. but their live show was great and i enjoy listening to that album more than any other i recall purchasing this year. though beck, hold steady, mmj, and black crowes all delivered worthy efforts as well.
  • Kilgore_TroutKilgore_Trout Posts: 7,334
    raconteurs
    sigur ros
    my morning jacket
    beck

    Russian Circles - Station
    Boris - Smile
    Cult of Luna - Eternal Kingdom

    Anybody else fans of these bands/albums? There have been a bunch of good albums out by bands I like but I can't narrow it down to one, those three are my favorites I think.
  • Yellow LedbellyYellow Ledbelly Posts: 3,749
    It has been a surprisingly good year so far...I remember people bemoaning the prospects earlier in the year, but i've bought some really good stuff.
    Evil Urges or Brighter Than Creation's Dark get my vote though...I think. But Consolers has to be in the mix too....I hated the first Raconteurs album but love this one

    From what I've heard of KOL's new stuff it will probably take the top spot. I am looking forward to the new Oasis as well
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
