As you can see, my taste is different than most "audiophiles", or maybe I haven't met them yet.

2008 was a great year for music.

Please let me know what your favorites are....

You have quite a list there. Mine would go a bit more like this:

"Viva la Vida ..." by Coldplay
"Only by the Night" by Kings of Leon
"For Emma, Forever Ago" by Bon Iver
"The Seldom Seen Kid" by Elbow
"Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum En" by Sigur Ros
"Evil Urges" by My Morning Jacket
"Vampire Weekend" by Vampire Weekend
"Modern Guilt" by Beck
"Dear Science" by TV On the Radio
"Warpaint" by the Black Crowes

As you can see, we have a lot of similar opinions, but you left off some great albums.

Fafafion,

I'm not sure I'd call it better than Coldplay. Apples and Oranges. On some days, I definitely prefer Grand Archives; Coldplay on others.
