2008 year was not a bad year for music and its listeners and lovers - we have seen better ones, but also worse ones, so let's be happy with what 2008 had in store for us. These are my favourites from last year:

Albums

Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul
Glasvegas - Glasvegas
Ja, Panik - The Taste And The Money
Gisbert zu Knyphausen - Gisbert zu Knyphausen

In this order, those were definitely my four very favourite albums of 2008. But some others were impressive as well. In no particular order, these are:

Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
The Indelicates - American Demo
Paul Weller - 22 Dreams
The Wind Whistles - Window Sills
Dirty Pretty Things - Romance At Short Notice
Travis - Ode To J. Smith
The Hold Steady - Stay Positive
Littl'ans - Primitive World
Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
Foals - Antidotes
Marilies Jagsch - Obituary For A Lost Mind

Of course, last year also saw the release of some fantastic tracks. I am too lazy to put them in any order, but I like every single one of them very much, so to hell with ordering them!

Oasis - Bag It Up
The Futureheads - The Beginning Of The Twist
Ja, Panik - Thomas sagt
Gisbert zu Knyphausen - Spieglein, Spieglein
