Summer Albums: 2008

[bowl of oranges]

As the summer comes to a close, we should all take some time to reflect upon the music we have listened to in these few glorious months.

So, that being said, what were your favorite albums to jam out to this summer?
They don't have to have been released this summer either, by the way.

Empires Howl
Driving East The Future Of The Free World Is Riding On This One

Two fine choices. I bet those will be the best ones we see for a while too, haha.
EDIT: referring to lunch's post.

For me, it's been:
Iron & Wine- The Creek Drank The Cradle
Portugal. The Man- Church Mouth
The Arcade Fire- Funeral
The Strokes- Is This It
Weezer- Pinkerton
Conor Oberst- s/t
David Bowie- Hunky Dory

I think I must've played one of those albums at least once a day.

Alkaline Trio--Good Mourning
Conor Oberst-s/t
Death Cab For Cutie--Narrow Stairs
Gaslight Anthem--'59 Sound(for the entire month of August)


and tons of Tegan and Sara and Bruce Springsteen...not just one album in particular, pretty much everything in thier respective catalogs
