Nyman’s Top Ten of 2008
I had trouble keeping up with the music scene this year so many of my favorite albums of 2008 didn’t become my favorite albums until very last minute. I went around to different blogs and looked up all their top albums and listened to a whole bunch of music from this year. I plan on being more on top of things in 2009, but here is my top ten albums of 2008 in alphabetical order:
Beach House - Devotion

Beach House - Some Things Last a Long Time (Daniel Johnston Cover)
Bon Iver - For Emma Forever Ago

Deerhoof - Offend Maggie

Deerhoof - Chadelier Searchlight
Deerhunter - Microcastles

Deerhunter - Nothing Ever Happened
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes

Fleet Foxes - Blue Ridge Mountains
Grouper - Dragging a Dead Deer Up A Hill

Grouper - Heavy Water/I’d Rather Be Sleeping
Mount Eerie (with Julie Doiron and Fred Squire) - Lost Wisdom

Sigur Rós - Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust

Sigur Rós - Vi spilum endalaust
Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks - Real Emotional Trash

Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks - Baltimore
Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks - Gardenia
Sun Kil Moon - April

Totally agree with SunKil Moon - it is fantastic.
