Here is my top 10 in no particular order aside from the first one. Was not a particularly great year in music in my opinion though I did like all of these albums quite a bit.
Deerhunter - Microcastle
Alaska in Winter - Holiday
British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music?
Colleen - The Golden Morning Breaks
Margot & the Nuclear So and So's - Animal!/Not Animal
Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours
Wye Oak - If Children
Fleet Foxes - Sun Giant/self-titled
Times New Viking - Rip It Off
The Daysleepers - Drowned in a Sea of Sound
2009 is already a little more promising to me with obvious top 10 picks for me already released (Animal Collective, Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Andrew Bird) and the promise of new Fleet Foxes, Appleseed Cast, Grizzly Bear, Silversun Pickups, etc etc on the horizon.
