| 2008: Celebration At The Fall Of Civilization
2008. Much happened that year, culminating in one of the most important elections in United States history. Whether you like it or not, it was a huge year and for many, it was the end of the world as we know it. That kind of spirit entered the music -- music was either a mindless celebration, trying to find the good in the bad, or pondering the meanings and politics of the world, you could feel the heavy atmosphere everywhere. And here, here's my list of music that mattered to me in that year. | 40 | | Katy Perry One of the Boys | 39 | | Deerhunter Microcastle | 38 | | Metallica Death Magnetic | 37 | | David Byrne and Brian Eno Everything That Happens Will Happen Today | 36 | | AC/DC Black Ice | 35 | | The Raconteurs Consolers of the Lonely | 34 | | Erykah Badu New Amerykah Pt. 1 (4th World War) | 33 | | My Morning Jacket Evil Urges | 32 | | Q-Tip The Renaissance | 31 | | Ne-Yo Year of the Gentleman | 30 | | Be Your Own Pet Get Awkward | 29 | | R.E.M. Accelerate | 28 | | Young Jeezy The Recession | 27 | | Death Cab for Cutie Narrow Stairs | 26 | | Gaslight Anthem The '59 Sound | 25 | | Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! | 24 | | The Roots Rising Down | 23 | | Gnarls Barkley The Odd Couple | 22 | | Hercules and Love Affair Hercules and Love Affair | 21 | | Taylor Swift Fearless | 20 | | Zac Brown Band The Foundation | 19 | | Hot Chip Made In the Dark | 18 | | Kings of Leon Only By the Night | 17 | | Fall Out Boy Folie a Deux | 16 | | Bon Iver For Emma, Forever Ago | 15 | | Duffy Rockferry | 14 | | Kate Nash Made of Bricks | 13 | | Portishead Third | 12 | | Coldplay Viva La Vida | 11 | | The Knux Remind Me In 3 Days... | 10 | | Guns N' Roses Chinese Democracy | 9 | | TV on the Radio Dear Science | 8 | | Fleet Foxes Fleet Foxes | 7 | | M83 Saturdays=Youth | 6 | | Kanye West 808s & Heartbreak | 5 | | Vampire Weekend Vampire Weekend | 4 | | Santigold Santogold | 3 | | Lil Wayne Tha Carter III | 2 | | MGMT Oracular Spectacular | 1 | | T.I. Paper Trail | |
