Are you looking forward to any albums in the next two and a half months that you think could be a contender for Best Album of 2008, or do you pretty much feel you've already discovered your faves of the year and nothing is gonna budge your opinion?

(and NO, this isn't my impatient, passive-aggressive way of making people spill what their favorite albums of '08 are...though if you'd like to share that information, i certainly wouldn't be offended. )


ok, so maybe a little passive-aggressive

I already did

Im pretty much sure that i have found my Top's of 2008, the problem is picking one, since they came months apart its tough. Im expecting a few new releases in the next few weeks, more on the POP side with, Girls Aloud, which has already gotten raves, and of course Britney. So this year im actually gonna have a favorite pop album and a favorite rock album, since rock really came back strong, a big improvement this year for me with the records released. But i dont think anything is going to blow me away with these new ccds coming in the next few weeks, im saving that mark for the new a-Ha album coming spring 2009

GRACE JONES' HURRICANE!

Funhouse- Pink
Consolers of the Lonely - Ranconteurs
Mothership - Led Zepplin
Final Straw - Snow Patrol
Eyes Open - Snow Patrol
Raw Footage - Ice Cube

For me it's been clear since I've heard that Madonna would release her new albim in 2008...

Lindsey Buckingham - Gift of Screws

still waiting for this

The Way I See It - Raphael Saadiq
Lay It Down - Al Green
Pebble to a Pearl - Nikka Costa
Rising Down - The Roots
New Amerykah Part One (4th World War) - Erykah Badu
New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Anhk) - Erykah Badu
Something Else - Robin Thicke
Sugarush Beat Company - Sugarush Beat Company
Dwele - Sketches of a Man

Not been a great year so far, so I'm hoping there's something great coming along.

Drive-By Truckers's "Creation's Dark" is the only thing I've been consistently addicted to:



maybe also the Conner Oberst and Jenny Lewis albums.

I'm definitely looking forward to Beyoncé's album, but I know it won't be the best album of 2008

I've only gotten two albums that were released this year

whatcha surprised at alex =p

Oh, wait a minute!
If Bowie's iSelect compilation does count then that is my #1 album this year, cuz anything Bowie is heaven and he picked some of my favourite tracks ever!!!
(Life On Mars, Sweet Thing suite, The Bewlay Brothers, Lady Grinning Sould, Win, Teenage Wildlife, Loving The Alien, Hang Onto Yourself and Time Will Crawl - the only song from Never Let Me Down I love and this new mix is also great!)

This, the new Dylan Chronicle set & The Fall's record are the only albums that stood out for me this year.

Saul Williams and Erykah Badu

I don't think there can be another best album of the year. Sure we still have to hear Beyonce's though her stuff isn't appealing to me like before and took a few listens, but so far I think Janet's Discipline is the album of the year, followed by Madonna's Hard Candy

Hands down the record of the year.

I've seen somebody putting it as an ave/siggy theme in another board I thought it was a poster for a documentary film.

What is it, child?

no more contenders?

Harlepolis said:

It's the Foreign Exchange's 2nd album "Leave It All Behind" and you MUST get it. Their first album was the first hip hop album I ever described as "beautiful"...

This one, there's no rapping, just singing

I have my favorites and will possibly pound them out @ a later date. For now I'm just enjoying my music and vibing.
