  • Can't believe “Only By The Night” has been voted the best of 2008...it's their weakest album yet and is at best average. I'm a huge disappointed KOL fan!

    I would have voted for MGMT if “Oracular Spectacular” hadn't been released in 2007, not 2008. Razorlight at 21 when it's received the worst reviews I've seen all year and where are the likes of Late of the Pier?!

    Think you guys have got it totally wrong here

  • What no Joshua Radin, The Dears, The Stills, Counting Crows! Surely someone listens to something good.

  • This 50 is very safe and conservative apart fom the excellent Evil Urges by My Morning Jacket. The best album of 2008 was Bronx III by The Bronx. Music with passion and guts not corporate fashion bands.
