I may love the man, but....dear God FIFTH?! That album was difficult to get through, and I'm a fan.

The 50 Best Albums of 2008 | Pitchfork
Fleet Foxes: Fleet Foxes
Cut Copy: In Ghost Colours
Coldplay: Viva la Vida
M83: Saturdays=Youth
The Dodos- 'The Visiter'
Los Campesinos! only made it to #30?! What the fuck?
I was sure it was going to make the Top 5, if not contend for #1.
I really couldn't say if this year was any worse than last...there have been plenty of releases that I will listen to for years to come.
I don't really buy any of these bad years for music arguments.
When people say it's a bad year for music, it means they're obviously just not listening to the right music.
FACT!!11!!@1!
Seriously though, good music always requires some sort of research to find. If you're lazy one year, it's probably going to be a "bad year" for you, and that's no one's fault but your own.
