Here's my list of personal favourites in 2008. Any comments are welcome.
Albums:
1. The Broken West - Now or Heaven
(just the kind of album you can listen to ten times in a row and it never gets boring, wonderful tunes, my favourite of 2008)
2. MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
(certainly one of the most hyped artists this year. And „Oracular Spectacular“ is indeed a fab album. However, MGMT were this year's poorest live act)
3. Foals - Antidotes
(For no particular reason I fall asleep every time I listen to this album. Not because it’s boring...it’s just...I don’t know. I really like it and now listen to it whenever I need to take a quick nap on the train. Took me a few weeks to discover the great track #9 „Big Big Love (Fig.2)“, though ;))
4. Born Ruffians - Red, Yellow & Blue
(took me almost 2 years to actually get into these guys’ music. I am still not quite fond of the singer’s voice. However, their sound really grew on me over the last few months and therefore the album made it into my personal top 10 of 2008)
