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....

Theraiguy,

Fully agree with you.The amazing thing is that very few people has heard of them.

Certainly better than Coldplay, don't you think?

Fafafion,

I'm not sure I'd call it better than Coldplay. Apples and Oranges. On some days, I definitely prefer Grand Archives; Coldplay on others.

Vampire Weekend, self-titled debut (Best)
Portished, Third (a stunner given the layoff)
Erykah Badu, New Amerykah Part 1 (transcendent)
Randy Newman, Harps and Angels (as good as as any of his LPs from the last 30 years)
Lucinda WIlliams, Little Honey (predictiable but beautiful)
Fleet Foxes, self-titled (sounds excellent on vinyl)
Drive-By Truckers, Brighter Than Creation's Dark
The Hold Steady, Stay Positive
Nick Cave, Dig Lazarus Dig (Cave is always worth the $20)
