Is anyone compiling the list of the 10 best/favourite albums of 2008 already?

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
(I totally listened to Billy Cyrus without irony when I was a kid. Thank you, diet of CMT as a youngster.)
I just find her so inexplicably charming. Okay, not inexplicably--my pop princess preferences are generally well known and well mocked. But she's adorable.
A Charlie Brown Christmas OST! That's the other one I can listen to on end all year 'round.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
So, um. Does anyone else have an excuse to like Miley Cyrus? Or am I the only one?
I know one of her backup singers from the last tour, and she's really nice.

Awesome! I was watching the tree-lighting at Rockefeller Centre thing and Miley was performing; her backup singers had about ten or fifteen years on her, and they were all dressed up to look like scene/emo kids. Hi-larious.

Ann, that's a ferret.
My 10-year-old niece is a big fan of Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana. I am not. On the other hand, niece is part of the target demographic. I am not.
I put her in the same category as Barney. I wouldn't object if my hypothetical kid in the proper age bracket were a fan. Just don't make me be in the room while you're watching.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I have 4 out of 30 from that list. However, 2 are in the top 10 (including #1).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
TV On the Radio, huh? Hmmm.
I've recently gotten into them. I'm obsessing over all their albums, except so far I have failed to get into Dear Science. Dunno why - it sorta' sounds more 'normal' than their other stuff to me.
Their bizarre and awesome cover of "Mr. Grieves" made me fall hard for them....

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Of AV Club's top ten, the only ones that'd make my list are Bon Iver and the Death Cab. I actually didn't bother to pick up TV On the Radio's new album this year. Maybe I should remedy that.

I have 13/30, but eight of them are repeated on more than one list. (I like Vampire Weekend the best, I'm not gonna lie.)

Dear Science is quite fucking good, by the by.
