Happy New Year!

Everybody puts out end of the year lists and so do I. First up is music.

This is the 15th year I have held this list; however this was almost the first year I didn't have a choice.
Until today, I had yet to own an album from 2008 (I blame iTunes mostly, and the fact that most albums blew this year). I had a candidate in mind but I needed to listen to the whole album to confirm it was worthy - and it is. So now my list is complete.

Best Album of 2008 - MGMT - Oracular-Spectacular
To recap for the hell of it:
2007 - Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank
2006 - The Killers - Sam's Town
2005 - INTERPOL - Antics
2004 - Brand New - Deja Entendu
2003 - Alien Ant Farm - TruANT
2002 - Incubus - Morning View
2001 - Toadies - Hell Below, Stars Above
2000 - Barenaked Ladies - Maroon
1999 - Barenaked Ladies - Stunt
1998 - Eve 6 - Self Titled
1997 - Everclear - So Much For The Afterglow
1996 - Beck - Odelay
1995 - The Presidents Of The United States of America - Self Titled
1994 - Green Day - Dookie
1993 - Pearl Jam - Vs

My Movie of the Year is Wall-e, narrowly beating out The Dark Knight and Prince Caspian.
