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....

I like the picks I'm familiar with, and will try some of the ones I don't recognize. Thanks in advance for any monsters you may have turned me on to.
Even though it was released on the last day of 2007, most of us were drunk and not able to comprehend until '08, so "In Rainbows" kicked the proverbial out of everything in '08 anyway; so I'm going to break the rules and go with...
Na, couldn't do it. Sense of fairness and all that.
I'll go with The Raconteurs "Consolers", because it reminded me so much of the great bands of the Seventies.

TheRaiGuy and Ncary: Thanks for the recommendations. I have heard some of them, but need to have a serious listen.

Azaud: "In Rainbows" by Radiohead is awesome. That was my favorite album of 2007.

It's great to know there are some more "progressive" listeners on Audiogon. I wasn't sure how my list would be accepted.

Thanks for the replies!

I'd add "Stay Positive" by The Hold Steady to the list. The album I kept on coming back to over and over and over again last year.

Blitzen Trapper's "Furr" kept finding it's way into my cd player.
