Rising to the Top Ten challenge (thanks Spooner)

My Top Ten albums of 2008. Yes, all (but one) white, all sorta classic rock, but all good. And that's what I needed.

Of Great and Mortal Men - Christian Kiefer, J. Matthew Gerkin and Jefferson Pitcher
Consolers of the Lonely - The Raconteurs
Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings - Counting Crows
Warpaint - The Black Crowes
Evil Urges - My Morning Jacket
Stay Positive - The Hold Steady
Dear Science - TV on the Radio
Accelerate - R.E.M.
Viva la Vida - Coldplay
Detours - Sheryl Crow

Honorable mention Top 10:
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
Gossip in the Grain - Ray LaMontaigne
Giving Up the Ghost - Jackie Greene
House of Bluhm - Tim Bluhm
The Slip - Nine Inch Nails
Sugar Mountain (Live 1968) - Neil Young
Little Honey - Lucinda Williams

Didn't hear, but intend to:
Black Ice - AC/DC

The new one by The Killers
Narrow Stairs - Death Cab for Cutie (LOVED "I Will Possess Your Heart," however)


(Seriously, I wasn't kidding about it being nearly all-white, all-guys....)

Evil Urges. Excellent. My wife, who I met in Louisville, got me into this band.

What about Bob?
