Favourite Albums of 2008

Out of all the albums released this year, which would you say were your favourite?

1: Lee Ann Womack - Call Me Crazy
It was an amazing album. I loved it from start to finish. Either Way, Last Call, The Bees, and I Think I Know are some of my favourites. I never noticed how beautiful of a voice Lee Ann had until hearing most of this album. She's one of my favourite female vocalists now, and I hope that she keeps up the great work.

2: Taylor Swift - Fearless
Taylor's songwriting style has come a long way since her 2006 debut. With zero mention of "calling daddy" and calling her ex-boyfriend gay, this shines above the other album. Taylor's voice still needs some work, she's not quite to Martina/Carrie/Reba status yet. I can't even put her into the same category as Allison Krauss, it would seem like an insult. Lots of songs on here were amazing for someone so young, my favourites are: Forever & Always, Fifteen, White Horse, Love Story, Hey Stephen, and You're Not Sorry.

3: Sugarland - Love on the Inside
Jennifer Nettles's voice is like chocolate to me, it can do no wrong. She has a way of singing songs that no matter what she's singing about, I'm listening. This album was a lot better than the previous two in my opinion, and it only gets better with time. I bought the Deluxe Fan Edition, and I wasn't disappointed. My favourite songs were Take Me As I Am, Keep You, Love, and Already Gone.

4: George Strait - Troubadour
They don't call George Strait the King for nothing. Possibly one of the best albums I've heard from a legend of country in some time. I loved the entire thing. Sing me song, troubadour George.

5: David Archuleta - David Archuleta
After losing American Idol, which I still don't see how, David recorded a great debut album. It had everything it needed for a good pop album, decent lyrics, a good sound, and a good voice. David has a nice voice that I hope to hear for many more years. My favourites were Crush, A Little Too Not Over You, You Can, and Barriers.

6: Lady Antebellum - Lady Antebellum
This band has everything it needs. Charles and Hillary sound great, alone and together. They are good song writers, they have a good sound, and the momentum they need to keep going. I think that Lady A could be the next big vocal group in country, which would be a nice change from the Flatts.

7: Jason Mraz - We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things
Jason, when his voice is utilised correctly, has a phenomonal singing voice. He has suffered from lack of airplay. That changed this year when he released I'm Yours. This song has peaked in the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100, number two on the Adult Contemporary chart, and number one on the Adult Top 40 chart. Most of his album is stuff that you would never hear in country. My favourites are the Dynamo of Volition, Lucky, A Beautiful Mess, and I'm Yours.

8: Pink - Funhouse
Pink has had the problem of being pushed to one side when it comes to American airplay. She had several hit singles in Austrailia, but America found Pink again when she released U + Ur Hand last year from her album I'm Not Dead. The momentum from her success from that song led her to her first single to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100, So What. Pink has a great set of pipes on her, and she can really belt a note when needed. My favourites were Crystal Ball and So What.
 
Well..
I purchased:

Simple Plan (selftitled) and enjoy that immensely.
Fearless by Taylor Swift and loved that.

I'm gonna say Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends by Coldplay was pretty good too, haven't bought it yet tho.

The Simple Plan CD is pretty good. I love Your Love is a Lie, it's a shame it wasn't a big impact on American charts.

I haven't heard Coldplay's album, which may for the best. I think that Chris Martin's voice sounds very strange. Not bad, just strange.

Simple Plan has hit the wall a bit as far as things go. They're a band that sells well as far as record and ticket sales go, but not as far as airplay goes now. They used to be big, but they've had three singles in the past year, none of which I hear a lot. Save You is my favorite off the album, and it's really not being played even on the tv alot. And it has such great meaning.

I've heard a few songs off of it. I normally don't like their music, but lately it's been pretty okay. Viva La Vida itself is epic, and I just adore Violet Hill. So I figure why not buy their album. But for their past albums, I hate them lol.

I love the lyrics to Viva La Vida. I just cannot listen to it because Chris Martin's voice sounds kind of...foreign for lack of better word. I'd like someone to do a cover version of it.

His voice is kinda icky, I just think he sounds like a girl lol.
But I've heard a cover of it, and it's not so great when it's done on repeat.

I think that he sounds like somebody they'd put on a Sci-Fi film soundtrack. It sounds kind of out there. lol. Great lyrics though.

2009 is going to be bad for albums, I'm afraid. I really want Martina's new CD, and that doesn't come out until March 31. After that, I'll be looking forward to nothing.
 
Folie a Duex - Fall Out Boy
Fearless - Taylor Swift

We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things by Jason Mraz

I find that you must be a die hard Jason fan to love every song(which I do). But his live stuff is much better than his studio work. And I believe this is the album of the year.

In a close second Viva La Vida by Coldplay

Viva La Vida the song was just amazing like the rest of the album
 
Day & Age
Pretty. Odd.
808s & Heartbreak

Rotation - Cute Is What We Aim For

I'm sure there's more.
 
Pretty. Odd. - Panic At The Disco

This was amazing. My mother even liked it. Which had me hating it for a while, but then I realized that I really couldn't let how my mother felt about music affect what I listened to. then I took the CD from my mother and she hasn't seen it since. I think that this record had tons more diversity than AFYCSO. It was thisclosetoperfect.
 
Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace- The Offspring

Indestructible- Disturbed

Death Magnetic- Metallica

Appeal to Reason- Rise Against
 
Day & Age by The Killers

Fearless by Taylor Swift

I rarely listen to full albums and those are the only albums I bought this year that actually were new. The others had been released in previous years.
 
MADE IN THE DARK BY HOT CHIP OMG <3 <3 <3 <3

Volume One by She&Him
illuminate by lydia
the battle of land and sea s/t
the age of understatement by the last shadow puppets
 
These are the only two i got.
Taylor Swift-AMAZING SONGS! : D
Paramore-i don't think it is from '08 but it is really good.
