Music is exciting once again in 2008. I didn't get to attend as many live shows as I'd like, but did discover many new artists and sounds. I'm especially excited to be part of a band myself this year called Siberiana and to be a small part of the exciting things that are happening in the Baltimore music scene. Anyway, on with the list:
Honorable Mentions:
Santogold - Santogold
Beck - Modern Guilt
Nine Inch Nails - The Slip
The Black Keys - Attack & Release
Keane - Perfect Symmetry
Favorite Song of the Year: American Boy (feat. Kanye West) by Estelle
Top 5:
5. Coldplay - Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends
4. Of Montreal - Skeletal Lamping
3. The Ting Tings - We Started Nothing
2. The Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely (also my favorite live act this year)
and *drum roll*
1. Sigur Rós - Með Suð Í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust
Enjoy and Happy New Year 🙂
