December 8, 200816 yr First YTD i think? Anyway my comments on some albums/ singles: 03. Mystery Jets ‘Twenty One’ // 9.39 Never got this. Two Doors down was brilliant though :D 07. Vampire Weekend ‘Vampire Weekend’ // 9.14 Brilliant. Top 10 album of the year for me also, maybe top 5 :o 08. Los Campesinos! ‘Hold on Now, Youngster…’ // 9.00 Must get "into" these. I'll force myself :P 11. Los Campesinos! ‘We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed’ // 8.97 How the hell did they manage to release two fantastic (according to you) within 4 months of each other :drama: 23. Bloc Party ‘Intimacy’ // 8.59 Don't understand why Talons is so good, so i don't think i'll buy this. However i love Helicopter from their 2005 album at the moment. How did i miss it first time round :blink: I don't even own 23 albums from this year, let alone 23 i'd rate over 8.59 :o Singles · 2008 01. Neon Neon ‘I Lust U’ 02.

December 9, 200816 yr Your music taste so different from mine, from the albums I only like Bloc Party, GA, and Pink Actually, I don't think so - you'd probably like a lot of that list, just most of it is quite obscure :P
December 9, 200816 yr Nice list. Like pretty much everything tbh, though some of the albums that are near your top would be way farther down my list (Mates of State, Mystery Jets, Johnny Foreigner). Still some great albums on hereeee.
