Completely unrelated to this post, but I was trying to think of a band I heard on here along time ago but I can’t remember the name… It was something like Nick Jana maybe? He had a song called Maryanne I think… Anyway, thanks in advance!
The British Columbians’ album was definitely great as well. It is one of those handful of albums that missed the cut just barely. I may write a feature when I resume updates in January concerning such albums.
Gah! I only looked at the top ten and I just spent $40 on itunes! There’s so much good music, sometimes it can be a little overwhelming. I had brushed off the hype on Fleet Foxes as unjustified, but now that I’ve listened to it, I get it. It’s amazing. 🙂

Owen, it is Nick Jaina’s “Maryanne”. The feature can be found here:

Enjoy.
I notice that you have not included The British Columbians. It’s one of the best albums you introduced me to this year. Odd.

Person L- Initial should be on there, but very nice list
Hey man, when are you coming back from your Christmas/New Year hiatus?

Thank you for posting these. I found some interesting new music and they made it easier for me to decide what to spend my iTunes gift cards on.

I’m kinda surprised Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s isn’t on here. Animal! was one of my favorite albums of the year.
Awesome list, Mike! When you have some time, I’d love to get your feedback on our list of the best albums of 2008:
