Gregs Top Music List for 2008

Please excuse the layour issues, i started this on a pc, and my mac is buggering it up to spite me.

Top Five Albums of the Year (in no particular order):
  • Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours

  • TV on the Radio - Dear Science

  • Santogold - Santogold

  • Portishead - Third (I know its just more of the same, but i reckon its still pretty good)
  • Bloc Party - Intimacy

Album that made me (for a fleeting moment) not hate hip hop for the uncreative, self-contratulatory wank-fest that it has become :

  • Viktor Vaughn - Vaudeville Villain (I know, its old, but it still sounds fresh)

Albums that got me all excited with the first few listens, but then aged like a Hypercolor t-shirt (badly) :

  • The Kills - Midnight Boom

  • Yeasayer - All hour cymbals

  • MGMT - Oracle Spectacular (apparently this was releasd last year actually)

Albums that dont deserve to have ever been distributed this year, perhaps ever (even on CD, and i hate CD's!)

  • The Fuck Buttons - Street Horrrsing or whatever stupid hipster name they gave it
  • Any song ever ruined by Mark Ronson (have you heard that guy speak? Ugh!)

Albums that i havent heard enough of to love yet, but will love in due course :

  • Hercules and Love Affair

Full 'best of' list coming soon...
