I have made a list for the last twenty years and decided to post it here this year. I welcome any suggestions that I might have missed.

As you can see, my taste is different than most "audiophiles", or maybe I haven't met them yet.

2008 was a great year for music.

Please let me know what your favorites are....

Congratulations Timbrepitch, I don't recognize a single artist on that list. Must not be Jazz, Blues, Celtic or Classical. Must be one of them myopic lists.
lucinda williams "little honey" the black crowes "warpaint" and hank3 "damn right rebel proud" were three of my favorites from 2008
oops forgot to mention emmylou harris "all i intended to be" another of my favorite 2008 recordings
Fafafion, I forgot about Grand Archives! Thank you for reminding me. Everyone, stop what you are doing and go pick up this album!
great call by azaud - if you count "in rainbows" as 2008, it might be my favorite.

strictly for 2008, i'd go with deathcab for cutie's "narrow stairs".

radiohead and deathcab are my favorite bands going, but radiohead does have a little of that "pink floyd" thing for me where they can get me in a weird mood, where deathcab is easy listenin'.
