Bijan’s favorite 10 albums of 2008

This is a great list.  I need to check out 3, 7, and 8 which I haven’t hear yet. 

I came across Lucky recently and was blown away. Its rare that I enjoy an album so much on the first listen. Always a nice surprise.

This was a fantastic year of new music. We saw a bunch of great shows and fell in love with some great albums.

Here are my favorite albums released this year.

1 - Lucky by Nada Surf

2 - Vampire Weekend by Vampire Weekend

3 - How Ya Lookin Southbound, Ben Kweller

4 - For Emma, Forever Ago by Bon Iver

5 - In Rainbows by Radiohead

6 - Feed the Animals by Girl Talk

7 - Furr by Blitzen Trapper

8 - The BBC Sessions by Belle & Sebastian

9 - Narrow Stairs by Death Cab for Cutie

10 - Consolers of the Lonely - The Racounteurs

Biggest disappointment this year: “Skeletal Lamping” by Of Montreal. I love this band but I just didn’t get this last record.

Next year is looking to be a great year as well. I’ve already gotten an advanced copy of Ben Kweller’s “Changing Horses” which is awesome. And I can’t wait for “Hazards of Love” by the Decemberists.

Many thanks to all my friends on Tumblr, last.fm and the hype machine for turning me on to so much great music!
