MOJO's Top 50 of 2008 2008-11-29 by Iai EMERITUS | 15 Comments | Bored of these lists yet? No? Good. The thinking/older man's music magazine has published its very own top 50 albums of 2008. All the MOJO trademarks are present, including the token nods to metal, electronica, jazz, and African music, the lofty praise given to average albums by long-established artists, and the belief that if an Oasis album isn't complete crap, then it should probably be in a list of some sort.
I jest, of course. It's much better than most of these things, at any rate.
The Top 50 is as follows -
50. Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul
49. The Neil Cowley Trio - Louder Louder Stop
48. AC/DC - Black Ice
47. Flying Lotus - Los Angeles
46. James Hunter - The Hard Way

36. MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
35. Our Broken Garden - When Your Blackening Shows
34. Fuck Buttons - Street Horrrsing
33. Kasai Allstars - In The 7th Moon
32. Seasick Steve - I Started Out With Nothing And I Still Got Most Of It Left
31. Duffy - Rockferry
30. The Night Marchers - See You in Magic

These lists should be open to a wider range of genres.
| | |
I agree.
| | |
nice to see the night marchers in there.
i might start doing my own best of 2008 list soon, as i'm pretty sure what my top 10's gonna be.
| | |
Fleet Foxes has been getting a lot of love.
It's nice to see The Black Keys and Beck on the list. Danger Mouse had a great 2008.
| | |
too much lack of good metal
| | |
The best end of year list I've seen so far from a music mag
| | |
Man, I feel like I should listen to Fleet Foxes with it topping so many lists.
| | |
I agree with this list more than the others so far, but I still think its leaving out some fantastic metal albums obviously...
| | |
These lists should be open to a wider range of genres.
Well good thing Sputnikmusic exists.
| | |
Haha, some people still want doom though. :P
| | |
Rasputin; pioneering a need for the doom genre
| | |
sigur ros's new album doesn't have a title..?
| | |
They have Fucked Up's album on here, this negates the whole list. Fail.
| | |
10 made me throw up, as did AC/DC
| | |
I stopped reading at 48. AC/DC - Black Ice
