So what records did I leave off this list that you think should be on there? My Morning Jacket, Fleet Foxes, The Killers, etc. Post your suggestions. Would love to know which records rocked your world in 2008!
Also, don’t forget to send in new music via the Soundcloud DropBox, it’s a link at the top of this blog.
