my friend joel’s list.
Great list. MGMT is so cool. Here’s mine: http://www.criscom.at/2008/12/24/criscoms-best-albums-of-2008/
Department of Eagles and Beach House, as a pair, are two incredibly unique and lasting albums. Good picks all around.
nice list. no cobra verde? no december sound? no glasvegas? no gaslight anthem? bah!
I think Bon Iver takes the cake. Seriously one of the best albums, not only of this year, but in the last 10.
