2008's Fresh Picked Berries

For your reading pleasure, Butang has broken down the 10 Best Albums of 2008

10. Drive By Truckers - Brighter Than Creation's Dark
Nashville, you are gone but not forgotten

9.  Air France - No Way Down
 Sort of like a dream...No...better

8.  Gang Gang Dance - Saint Dymphna
Sounds like African hipsters

7.  Santogold - Santogold
Certainly played out in coffee shops and Bud Light commercials everywhere, but I can't deny the fact that every track on this album is good.  Her live performances are another story...

6.  Kanye West - 808s & Heartbreak
How can you stop somebody that cannot and won't stop?

5.  Foals - Antidotes
If you are into running and English people, you will LOVE this album.  Side note: I'm into neither and still love this album

4.  Lil Wayne - Carter III 
Pre-games everywhere are thankful for this album

3.  Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes 
"It sounds simultaneously now and forty and one hundred years ago."

2.  TV On The Radio - Dear Science  
Shit will melt your face

1.  Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago 

The best winter album I can think of in recent memory, Justin Vernon [Iver] puts out the freshest acoustic folk in quite some time.
