i forgot one. yes, it was technically released last year, but it was re-released this year (and i totally blew it and didn't hear it until about 2 weeks ago). there's no way i can post a Top Albums of 2008 without including it, because it might be my favorite record of the year even if i've only had it for 2 weeks. it's that good, and that important to me.

bon iver - for emma, forever ago

I just got the Bon Iver CD this past week and I agree, it is wonderful.

i love the gaslight anthem's new cd and glad to see it on so many lists.

[ArmedROBery]

Yes! Glad to see Colour Revolt love. That record fucking rocks.

I really gotta pick up Bon Iver soon though...

Thanks for giving Wisco some love w/ Bon Iver :). Also, the Colour Revolt puts on one of the most inspiring live shows (possible tour partner :)?). Glad to see it on the list.

[rustedembrace]

hmm. mouth of the architect

[godzillany]

first sensible person i've seen put Colour Revolt on here. That album is easily tops of the year.

Agreed, it should be on more.

In Rainbows also came out in 2007.
