December 29, 200816 yr My first post! Fleet Foxes, MGMT, Vampire Weekend and The Ting Tings welcome to the forum :)
December 30, 200816 yr Last Shadow Puppets and Friendly Fires for me. I've not heard all of Vampire Weekend's album, but I like their style, but not all their singles. Bleh. They have anthemic singles however.
December 30, 200816 yr Crystal Castles Women Foals Lykke Li Santogold Lau Nau Late of the Pier Los Campesinos! French Quarter Telepathe Fleet Foxes Friendly Fires The Hilotrons Grouper The Tallest Man on Earth Hercules and Love Affair High Places Errors Zeigeist Vivian Girls Ladyhawke Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head Apes and Androids MGMT Our Sleepless Forest Bon Iver (kind of)
December 30, 200816 yr I forgot Los Campesinos! because they released their first album at the beginning of 2008. Thanks for the welcome Chris, sorry if my English is not OK, I'm Spanish as you can see, but I like all this music.
January 5, 200916 yr If I had to choose three it would be MGMT, Vampire Weekend and Los Campesinos! All very good debuts. The follow up Los Campesinos! album is meant to be very good as well/
January 7, 200916 yr 2008 was a very good year for music, I must say. There are so many I could name but my fav at the mo is Kings of Leon, not a bad track on there.
January 15, 200916 yr MGMT and Santogold. Loved these releases this year. AND let's not forget about In Rainbows from Radiohead
January 15, 200916 yr ...Radiohead have been around for years and years and In Rainbows is a 2007 album? o_O
January 15, 200916 yr They were 2007 but I heard them for the first time in 2008 - Airbourne Complete rip off of AC/DC but still love them
