Vampire Weekend gets my vote.

if fleet foxes win any kind of award for anything other than making decent, pleasant, inoffensive music, i'll be shocked

but there were many that came too close, like Marnie Stern, Sigur Ros, Wolf Parade, of Montreal, Plants & Animals, TVOTR, Lykke Li, and yes, Bloc Party.
Number one album belongs to Sigur Ros.
And more people need to start watching Supernatural.

Best album- Langorne Slim
overrated- Blitzen Trapper
1.Fleet Foxes
2. Gnarls Barkley
3. The Raconteurs
LANGHORNE SLIM AND THE WAR EAGLES!!!!
Wolf Parade - At Mount Zoomer is fantastical and my #1 but Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago is tight second.
David Byrne's new album and tour have been inexplicably absent from "best of" conversations and from this blog in general.

10) TV On The Radio- Dear Science,
MGMT MGMT MGMT!!
I think that Los Campesinos! album is pretty underrated too. It's sugary, but it's got some killer punk undertones.
If MGMT came out this year, I don't know how I'm going to pick between that and Santogold. Good thing I get three choices....
no love for cold war kids?
the winner is...
1) Deerhunter-microcastles
2) fleet foxes -fleet foxes
3) horse feathers- house with no home
4) the republic tigers-keep color
5) chad vangaalen- soft airplane
6) sigur ros- med sud
7) beach house- devotion
8) islands- arm's way
Don't forget Animal Collective.
Modest Mouse, Le Tigre, Wolf Parade, Le Loup?
I guess maybe it isn't one of the "auto-fill albums" because it was released at the very beginning of 2008, but Stereogum blogged positively about Thao with The Get Down Stay Down's album "We Brave Bee Stings and All" and it is definitely one of my choices for album of the year. Everyone ought to listen to it...
1- Evil Urges
2- Dear Science
3- Night Ripper
4- Tha Carter III
5- Fleet Foxes
... Who would have thought my #1 album of the year would be something Rolling Stone called the breakthrough album of the year and something Pitchfork gave a 4.7
Best Album - I gotta put in a vote for Helio Sequence
I really liked these albums this year:
Man Man - Rabbit Habbits
Cold War Kids - Loyalty to Loyalty
Lykke Li - Youth Novels
Bowerbirds - Hymns For A Dark Horse
Raconteurs - Consolers Of The Lonely
The Black Keys - Attack and Release
Tilly and the Wall - o
Taraf de Haidouks - Ma*karada
Devotchka - A Mad and Faithful Telling
I dunno why, it seems, no one has mentioned/joined me in my quest to have Friendly Fires be one of the top albums. Their stuff is pretty rad. It's much more accessible than some of the other stuff mentioned without a lack in quality.
Boyhowdy, Cover Lay Down
Album: Grace Jones - Hurricane. This album is BRILLIANT! Collaborations with Tricky, Brian Eno and Massive Attack + Grace Jones' brilliance.

Gnarls Barkley and Grace Jones were the only 2 in that entire post that I have ever heard of.
....and I'm proud of it.

There is still a month and 10 days to go yet - that is over a tenth of the year!
Still, good lists. I'll start downloading when my broadband gets its (measly) upgrade on Wednesday.
