i forgot gnarls barkley!! thanks for the reminder

^^Yeah but time is short, and the listening list is long. Wolf Parade and City and Colour are second chances- I've tried to get into them and couldn't before for whatever reason. MGMT I've heard one song all over the place that I really love, so they're top priority after Sam Roberts new album. We'll see.

 

^Your're welcome. :nice: I almost forgot them too till I saw them on a list....which reminds me...

 

I really ought to do a blurb for Sons and Daughters sometime.... their album is fantastic.

For people having trouble remembering what came out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_albums_released_in_2008

 

Just don't trust the release dates- this list goes by US release dates as far as I can tell, so things might have had much earlier UK release dates.

*I thought about Life Processes, then I thought about ¡Forward, Russia!'s hiatus. Then I remembered how I felt when I first heard it. No other album this year had the impact that Life Processes did, and it is still there nine months later. That really does say something.

Some albums that will be rising on my list: Viva La Vida and Intimacy.

i hated intimacy

Well, you're a pleasant poster, Justin! xD
