Top ten albums of 2008!
Janelle Monáe in Philly (05.2008), originally uploaded by Nastassia A. Davis.
If there's one thing the end of the year is good for - other than that nagging, creeping sense of my increasing age - it's lists! We here at the ol' Squealer like to do this in the form of a top ten albums of the year. So, today, I'm going to first tell you my "honorable mentions," which could either be construed as 11-20, or simply ones I really liked but got beat out by the top ten. It was a pretty good year for music, and although my list probably will not impress many music critics, these were the albums that I enjoyed the most. So, here you go, in alphabetical order.
Honorable Mentions
Be Your Own Pet - Get Awkward
Dengue Fever - Venus On Earth
Duffy - Rockferry
The Dutchess and the Duke - She's The Dutchess, He's The Duke
Ezra Furman and the Harpoons - Inside The Human Body
Janelle Monae (pictured) - Metropolis: The Chase Suite
Katy Perry - One of the Boys
Little Joy - self-titled
Titus Andronicus - The Airing of Grievances
Vampire Weekend - self-titled
entry no. 1263
