In no particular order, here is what I really liked listening to in 2008!
1 Why? - Alopecia
2 Horse Feathers - House with No Home*
3 Spiritualized - Songs in A&E
4 Bound Stems - The Family Afloat
5 Magnetic Fields - Distortion
6 Marnie Stern - This is it and I am it.... (really long title)
7 No Age - Nouns
8 Damien Jurado - Caught in the Trees
9 Breeders - Mountain Battles
10 Frightened Rabbit - The Midnight Organ Fight
And my favorite 2008 albums from bands in Portland, Oregon (my brand new hometown):
1 Au - Verbs
2 Parenthetical Girls - Entanglements
3 Blitzen Trapper - Furr
4 Starfucker - Starfucker
5 Shaky Hands - Lunglight
*(obviously, Horse Feathers fits into both categories)
Feel free to make recommendations; my ears are always open!

That's me!
Album of the Year, according to two friends, and probably almost no one else.
Seriously I feel so lame that I've not even heard of ANY of these bands... but you have forgotten some of the REAL 2008 classics: Lollipop- Lil Wayne; Touch My Body- Mariah Carey; Independant- Webbie; No Air- Jordan Sparks.
Now go, go update your list...
