Looking at this year's scheduled releases at the end of 2007, B&C seemed quite excited:

We are almost 2/3 through the year and know the remaining releases of 2008. So how has the year treated you musically? With what you've heard so far and the potential of the upcoming releases in the next four months where do you think this year will rank compared to the rest of the decade?
Personally, this looks like it could be the best year of this decade. These are the best albums of the decade in my opinion:
The top tier (all-time classics.)
1. A Rush Of Blood To The Head by Coldplay (2002)
2. Aerial by Kate Bush (2005)
3. The Dresden Dolls by The Dresden Dolls (2003)
4. Liars by Todd Rundgren (2004)
5. The Dark Third by Pure Reason Revolution (2006)
Second tier (just short of being classics.)
6. Who Killed Amanda Palmer? By Amanda Palmer (2008)
7. Viva La Vida by Coldplay (2008)
8. American Doll Posse by Tori Amos (2007)
9. Marry Me by St. Vincent (2007)
10. Bloodflowers by The Cure (2000)
11. Fear Of A Blank Planet by Porcupine Tree (2007)
12. No, Virginia by The Dresden Dolls (2008)
2007 had a lot of good to great albums but no classics. It probably had a lot more great releases that any year since really the early to mid 90's. Now in 2008, there are already two albums better than anything from last year.
Great releases from this year:
American Gothic EP by Smashing Pumpkins
Some People Have Real Problems by Sia
Into The Future by Black Mountain
No, Virginia by The Dresden Dolls
Viva La Vida by Coldplay
Who Killed Amanda Palmer? by Amanda Palmer
New albums from:
The Verve
The Cure
U2
Todd Rundgren
