Attention Taxonomic Dorks: Best Albums and Such of 2008

In the spirit of placing all things into neat little categories, I invite all my fellow taxonomic dorks to weigh in on their favorite jams of 2008.


Band - Album - Label

1. Deerhunter - Microcastle/Weird Era - Kranky

Elliott BROOD - Mountain Meadows

<a href="[itunes.apple.com] College Radio iPhone App</a>

I vote for Testament, The Formation of Damnation (I think it's called that). I'd have to really think hard beyond this, as I have forgotten what came out in 2008 and what was 2007.
