I found the craziest list which I think was compiled by a nutcase programmer. Check out Largehearted boys 2008 Year-end round-up list o’ lists. Has every damn site best of listing — everybody’s list! We’re still listening and trying to decide over here. It’s a lot of freaking work. So far these records have made it on there and when we are done we’ll put a podcast together. Geesh.
In no particular order:
1) Do you like rock music? by British Sea Power – Holy crap this is another UK band that just took things to a whole different level, earthy and dark, blankets of sound
2) Nouns by No Age – Best duo i’ve heard in a long time. Plenty of noise, respectable burried vocals. Dig that washy sound man.
3) Old Wounds by Young Widows – Mucho distorted bass and straight up riffage like minimal rock should be. No trickery.
4) Lust Lust Lust by The Raveonettes – lots of layers and reverb just like god intended for any post Jesus and Mary Chain band to sound like.
5) The Devil You + Me by The Notwist – This is dark and bad-ass with the right balance of technology mixed with guitars
6) Little Death by Pete and the Pirates – I was shocked I like this so much but then again I’m a sucker for a good UK guitar driven pop band with lots of attitude.
Ok that is it for now.Yeah i list six freakin’ records so what! If you want to throw down your own opinion feel free to participate in Tric Mccall’s annual critics poll for 2008. Your opportunity ends Jan 30.
