What albums did you really like that came out in 2008? What albums do you still want to get/hear?

 

Here are the albums I would own from 2008 that I have heard enough of to form an opinion and would own:

Brighter Than Creation's Dark - Drive-By Truckers

19 - Adele

New Amerykah: Part 1 (4th World War) - Erykah Badu

Another Country - Tift Merritt

Rockferry - Duffy

Same Old Man - John Hiatt

Trouble in Mind - Hayes Carll

Tha Carter III - Lil Wayne

Evil Urges - My Morning Jacket

Heart of Stone - Chris Knight

One Kind Favor - B.B. King

Cardinology - Ryan Adams & The Cardinals

Fearless - Taylor Swift

808s & Heartbreak - Kanye West

The Point of it All - Anthony Hamilton

What do you think of these albums?

 

These are the releases I'm still interested in buying/listening to/etc.:

Hernando - North Mississippi All-Stars

Warpaint - The Black Crowes

Asking for Flowers - Kathleen Edwards (Jim, I'm such a slacker, I know you told me about this way back when it came out)

Keep It Simple - Van Morrison

Consolers of the Lonely - The Raconteurs

Vagrants & Kings - Cory Morrow

Lay it Down - Al Green

Last Days at the Lodge - Amos Lee

Two Men with the Blues - Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis

That Lonesome Song - Jamey Johnson

Comal County Blue - Jason Boland & The Stragglers

Only by the Night - Kings of Leon

Tennessee Pusher - Old Crow Medicine Show

Little Honey - Lucinda Williams

Maybe some of the music buffs can shine some light on these I haven't listened to yet.

 

So BGP land...what are the albums for you?

I've never heard anything by them. But a friend whose musical opinion I greatly respect has suggested them to me. I'll have to check it out sometime soon.

 

I first heard them about 3 years ago when a buddy took me to one of their live shows at Headliner's in Louisville. When they play live they sound exactly like they do on their albums.

 

Some songs I would recommend if you haven't heard them before are:

 

"Sex on Fire" (Only By The Night)

"Use Somebody" (Only By The Night)

"The Bucket" (Aha Shake Heartbreak)

"Slow Night, So Long" (Aha Shake Heartbreak)

"Soft" (Aha Shake Heartbreak)

"Knocked Up" (Because of the Times)

"On Call" (Because of the Times)

"Ragoo" (Because of the Times)

"Fans" (Because of the Times)

"Molly's Chambers" (Youth and Young Manhood)

"California Waiting" (Youth and Young Manhood)

Surprisingly, I really enjoy Taylor Swift's Fearless cd. A few of her songs are a little young for me, but most of them are really quite relateable. (A little embarassing to admit, given that I'm...oh...about ten years older than her.) Anyway, my favorites are Love Story, White Horse, and Can't Breathe (w/ Colbie Callait). I am definitely impressed with her songwriting capabilities, especially since she is still so young.

I'm a 25 year old male...and I can admit that the album isn't bad. If she continues she will be really good and her songwriting is good, especially for her age.
