Ok so what were your favourite or most listened to albums of 2008. they don't have to have been released that year. just albums you bought or received last year which have made a standing impression on you.
mine are: metallica - death magnetic pendulum - hold your color pendulum - in silico trivium - shogun newton faulkner - hand built by robots
Bombay Dub Orchestra - 3 Cities Nitin Sawhney - London Undersound Foreign Exchange - Leave It All Behind Niyaz - Nine Heavens Little Brother - And Justus For All
...Damn it, there were way too many good albums last year. Here were some more of my favorites:
Black Milk - Tronic Estelle - Shine Kidz In The Hall - The In Crowd Kanye West - 808s & Heartbreak God Is An Astronaut - God Is An Astronaut John Legend - Evolver Lil Wayne - Tha Carter III John McLaughlin - Floating Point Steve Reich - Daniel Variations Flo Rida - Mail on Sunday
hadouken! - Music for an accelerated culture Flight of the Conchords- Flight of the Conchords Run DMC- best of... Pendulum - in silico Flobots- Fight with tools
Satyricon - The Age of Nero Children of Bodom - Blooddrunk Testament - The Formation of Damnation Slipknot - All Hope Is Gone Machine Head - The Blackening (took me awhile to get around to listening to it)
G&R's Chinese Democracy got a few spins, too. Definitely catchy.
Ayreon - 01011001 Tribe after Tribe - M.O.A.B. Stories from Deuteronomy ASP - Zaubererbruder Machinae Supremacy - Overworld Uriah Heep - Wake the Sleeper
and honorable Mentions to the 2008 Albums from Avantasia and Edguy
Amon Tobin - Foley Room Amon Tobin - Bricolage Bonobo - Dial 'M' For Monkey DJ Krush - Jaku DJ Krush - Stepping Stones DJ Krush - Zen Portishead - Dummy Pendulum - Hold your Color Massive Attack - Mezzanine
Well I only bought 7 albums this year so the list would be (in no specific order):
AC/DC - Black Ice Trivium - Shogun Bullet For My Valentine - Scream Aim Fire Metallica - Death Magnetic Children of Bodom - Blooddrunk
But if you ask for my most listened albums of 2008 the list would be different (again: in no specific order):
Led Zeppelin - Mothership (I hope that counts as an album) Trivium - Shogun Metallica - Master of Puppets Metallica - Ride the Lightning Pink Floyd - The Wall
Sam Roberts: Love at the End of the World Beck: Modern Guilt Sigur Rós: I don't feel like typing it out Born Ruffians: Red, Yellow and Blue
Can't think of a fifth. I got a few others, but they didn't really stand out. I liked 2007 so much more overall, although Love at the End of the World has quickly become one of my favorite albums of all time.
amon amarth - twilight of the thundergod uriah heep - wake the sleeper dan le sac vs scroobius pip - angles children of bodom - blooddrunk (granted its not their best work ... ) meshuggah - Obzen The Offspring - Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace
Narrow minded list, predominantly metal - perhaps.
Blooddrunk - Children of Bodom The Crucible of Man: Something Wicked Part 2 - Iced Earth Death Magnetic - Metallica The Scarecrow - Avantasia Tinnitus Sanctus - Edguy
I'm going to do ones all released in 2008, otherwise no point Seasick Steve - I Started Out With Nothing and I Still Got Most of it Left The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound Frank Turner- Love, Ire & Song Johnny Flynn - Alarum Laura Marling - Alas I Cannot Swim
Eggo: Bombay Dub Orchestra - 3 Cities Nitin Sawhney - London Undersound Foreign Exchange - Leave It All Behind Niyaz - Nine Heavens Little Brother - And Justus For All
