I remembered another one...Santogold. Take the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Missing Persons and blend 'em up for this catchy little album.
Top Alternative Rock Albums of 2008
In no particular order here is a list. Please feel free to throw in some names I'm always in the search of great new music.
No Age - Nouns (Dinosaur Jr meets Weezer)
The Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely
Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes (really folky but I dig it)
Beck - Modern Guilt
Sigur Rós - Með Suð Í Eyrum Við (possibly my favorite in 08)
Portishead - Third (took a couple listens but I get it now)
Albums I bought and was let down by:
TV On The Radio - Dear Science
I don't mind the album, it's just that Return to Cookie Mountain was so much better.
My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges
Just didn't sound like MMJ to me. After buying Fleet Foxes recently maybe I'll get into more.
The Black Keys - Attack and Release
A few good tunes, album has too many holes though
Album's I didn't buy or care to buy:
Coldplay - Viva La Vida
Bloc Party - Intimacy
Kings Of Leon - Only By The Night
No Age - Nouns (Dinosaur Jr meets Weezer)
The Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely
