With that being said I've put together a little list of some of my favorite albums of 2008:
Ludo, You're Awful, I Love You. This power pop band from the mid-west has fun songs with catchy hooks. Ludo is at their best when singing about what no other band sings about like lakes that eat people and that creepy guy who lives in your apartment building.
Panic at the Disco, Pretty. Odd. This album sounds nothing like A Fever You Can't Sweat Out but I love it just the same. One album they've got electro/cabaret beats and the next they sound like the Beatles. I'm excited to see what they do next.
Fall Out Boy, Folie A Deux. Everyone knows I'm a huge Fall Out Boy fan and this album is in constant rotation. I think people who might not listen to Fall Out Boy normally should give this album is shot.
Vampire Weekend, Vampire Weekend. Every one's been talking about this band and they should be. They have a unique style combining African beats, keyboards and even some classical sounds. This was the perfect summer time album for me.
Ryan Adams, Cardinology. Sometimes a Ryan Adams album can be spotty with some amazing songs and a few duds but this is a solid album. Who says you can't make a good album after cleaning up?
Stayed tuned for a few more favorites of 2008 surprises

I still buy cd's too!! I'll always love looking through the little sleeve inserts and admiring the artwork and photos and reading the thank you's of my favourite bands.
Sometimes if you read through the entire lengthy paragraphs you find random funny things that they say.
Long live cd's!
