Jesus, I forgot about Sheryl!!! :drama:

I thought about Radiohead, but then kinda figured it would count as a 2007 release. I guess it could be either really.

I loved Dolly's recent bluegrass albums, but not feeling this one at all really. :(

Give her boobs a feel instead... they're so firm!

I REALLY liked all 3 of those bluegrass albums and I'm not usually a bluegrass fan. I'd have to say I like about half or a little more of the new album. I think I might have liked it MUCH more if I wasn't so into LeAnn Rimes' Family before I got it. But the criteria of the list dictates that it's only 2008 and while closer to the bottom of my top 10, it's still Dolly, so it's there.

(waiting for a HQ Coldplay link to listen to it, so it's missing... also still need to check out the new Ladytron)

1. Hot Chip - Made In The Dark
2. Janet - Discipline
3. Cyndi Lauper - Bring Ya To The Brink
4. Donna Summer - Crayons
5. The B-52's - Funplex
6. Portishead - Third

9. R.E.M. - Accelerate
10. Weezer - The Red Album
11. Goldfrapp - Seventh Tree
12. Madonna - Hard Candy
13. Sheryl Crow - Detours

2008 has been good thus far, not one album in that list I dislike, and we're only to the midway list and I can think of a top 13.... many years I have a hard time coming up with top 20 and start picking out titles from my ass around 17-18... this year shouldn't have that problem.

Madonna usually tops my album lists, she did in 98, 00, 03 and 05.... but I think Hard Candy is only "okay" and I never truly warmed to it outside of a few tracks.
