So many good self-titled albums this year!! :)

Ones I hated leaving out were For Emma, Forever Ago by Bon Iver, Third by Portishead, 19 by Adele, Fantasy Black Channel by Late of the Pier, A Mad and Faithful Telling by DeVotchKa, Crystal Castles' s/t album and Offend Maggie by Deerhoof.

BUT, IF IT COUNTS, THE HANDS-DOWN BEST ALBUM OF 2008 WAS...

The Sound of the Smiths by The Smiths.

It's so nice to see how much Why? is appreciated here :) and that DiS was one of the few to include Alopecia on a best of 08 list...

Anyway, my top 8 songs of 08:

1. L.E.S. Artistes by Santogold
2. He Doesn't Know Why by Fleet Foxes
3. You Know Me Better by Roisin Murphy
4. The Hollows by WHY?
5. Lights & Music by Cut Copy
6. Chasing Pavements by Adele
7. The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room by Flight of the Conchords
8. Flashing Lights by Kanye West

(just another 91 years and then when we can list our top 100 of the century...)
