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....

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'.

Celtic66 I have a hard time believing you've never heard of
Brian Eno, David Byrne of the Talking Heads, Coldplay or Paul McCartney!

And I don't get the myopic comment. I would assume you meant the list choices were narrow or close-minded yet you are the one who doesn't recognize any of the artists. I don't follow.
