Tops in music

Thought I forgot about it didn't you? Well, here are my picks for the top five albums of the year 2008:

5- Another Country/ Tift Merritt: Her debut album was great and this follow-up album didn't disappoint. For fans of "kinda country" in the vein of Emmylou Harris. Some really pretty songs on this one.

4- Easy Tiger/ Ryan Adams: Not to be confused with Bryan Adams. This is another country tinged album with excellently crafted songs with melodies that will rattle around in your head for days.

3- Perfect Symmetry/ Keane: A little different sound for this band but one that works well and reminds me a bit of Duran Duran in the eighties. The amazing thing is that the band sounds better with each and every album. At this rate, I can't wait for the next one.

2- Warpaint/The Black Crowes: The Robinson brothers are back together and making great soul shaking southern fried rock and roll again. Here's to many more years ahead.

1- All the Love You Need/ Big Head Todd and the Monsters: The only band outside of The Black Crowes that consistently makes albums that I love. I honestly don't know why this blues tinged rock band is not more popular than they are. I recommend this album to everyone. While your at it, pick up all their other albums as well.

That's it. Tops in movies will be next.
