How’s that for a “Best of” list title?  Whether released this year or not, here is some of the music I enjoyed throughout 2008, alphabetically for your perusal:

The Bake Sale, by The Cool Kids
Let’s Stay Friends, 3/5 and Inches, by Les Savy Fav
Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain, by Pavement
Rusty, by Rodan
Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust, by Sigur Ros
Dear Science, by TV on the Radio
It’s Getting Tougher to Say the Right Things, by Unbroken
At Mount Zoomer, by Wolf Parade

Throw in there various tracks by Annuals, Cloud Cult, Department of Eagles, +/-,  Kanye West (yes, even some of the auto-tuned madness), Los Campesinos!, and Jay Reatard, just for good measure.
