best lyrics of the year goes to van morrison, for that portion of "behind the ritual"

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Behind the ritual, making time in the days gone by

haha i love it!

So far I'd have to say:

The Academy Is... About A Girl
Alive In Wild Paint (switches weekly on which track I'm stuck on)
Jack's Mannequin Miss California (though I loved Suicide Blonde at Warped... I'm sure something off that cd will make my top 5)
Anberlin Disappear (only song I've heard off the album thus far... again I'm sure an Anberlin tune will be in my top 5)
Does It Offend You, Yeah Dawn Of The Dead (song is catchy as hell, been listening to it since the cd dropped)

I'm sure this will change before the end of next week haha

I can't really think of any others.

3. The Gaslight Anthem - Wherefore Art Thou, Elvis?
4. Thrice - Moving Mountains
5. Underoath - Desperate Times, Desperate Measures

[Jumpoff]

Dr. Dog - Army of Ancients
Bon Iver - Flume
Dr. Dog - The Ark
Bon Iver - Lump Sum

I've been meaning to listen to the new Dr. Dog.. guessing it's worth it if you liked it that much? :-p

Protest the Hero - Bloodmeat
Mars Volta - Illyena
Bon Iver - Flume
Mason Proper - Friendship
The Slackers - Estranged

I wasn't really liking the new Sigur Ros to be honest. It gave me too much of an Animal Collective feel.

Goliath - The Mars Volta
Gobbledigook - Sigur Ros
Child Of Dust/ The Earth Isn't Humming - Thrice

She & Him- You've Really Got A Hold On Me (cover)
Jason Mraz- I'm Yours
Death Cab For Cutie- Cath
The Matches- From 24C
Death Cab For Cutie- Long Division

[zaron5551]

Don't have five songs, but I can think of artists who have made my top 5 songs

1. The Matches
2. Finch (probably Chinese Organ Thieves)
3. Protest The Hero
4. Death Cab For Cutie
5. not sure maybe another Matches song

[thespearkid]

The Matches- From 24C

w00t! Some of the best lyrics of the year.

[AlternateToLife]

I agree. I listened to this song 3 times a day for 2 weeks after I got that album.

Yeah it's great,I haven't picked up the new Sigur Ros album yet (I have too many other albums to listen to at the moment).

But yeah, 2008 hasn't been very good for me so far, well I haven't heard many albums I love.

City and Colour - I don't need to know
Emarosa - The past should stay dead
Dance Gavin Dance - Me and Zoloft get along fine
I am abomination - The next great American tragedy

[Genuma]

LaGrecia - Hey Medic
Gaslight Anthem - '59 Sound

[IWasaCamera]

Indeed. Beautiful.
I don't really care for it frankly. It's a decent listen but I never go back to it.

Fate rubs me the wrong way.
