really?  personally, i need to feel at least SOME kind of emotional connection to music to truly enjoy it, and several bands i otherwise liked have had the listening experience soured for me when i've found out they're monumental bastards.  this isn't to say that any artist who does the slightest thing that irks me will be cast out of my collection, it's got to be something pretty big or a constant display of asshole-ism.  and even then, i'll still listen now and again, but i just don't enjoy it as much.

theoryC:
Crystal Castles is not nearly as disturbing as seeing Does It Offend You, Yeah? on some of these lists.

TheFuriousWombat:
At the moment, I have a top 15 list. The order isn't really set in stone at all but here's how it currently stands

15. Brightblack Morning Light - Motion to Rejoin
14. Marnie Stern - This is....
13. Department of Eagles - In Ear Park
12. Park Gregor Samsa - Rest
11. The Mountain Goats - Heretic Pride
10. Shearwater - Rook
9. Okkervil River - The Stand-Ins
8. Bohren un der Club of Gore - Dolores
7. Max Richter - 24 Post Cards in Full Color
6. Deerhunter - Microcastle
5. Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
4. The Drift - Memory Drawings
3. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!
2. Sigur Ros - Meš suš ķ eyrum viš spilum endalaust
1. Matthew Robert Cooper - Miniatures

I'll probably post a more concrete list, perhaps with some little comments or something later (actually at the end of the year).

squawk:
So, what the fuck, the 1900s have a new album out now? And I had no idea about it until today when they just announced it. What the hell. Who puts out an album in late November.

Anyway I need to find this somehow

Regarding top of 2008 lists, I'm not sure if I can make one! I think I'll just give awards out to albums.
