2007 was an unbelievable year in music releases. 2008 appears a little weak, but that might be because I haven't heard of a lot of new releases this year.
2008
1. My Morning Jacket - "Evil Urges"
2. Vampire Weekend - "Vampire Weekend"
3. MGMT - "Oracular Spectacular"
4. The Hold Steady - "Stay Positive"
5. Fleet Foxes - "Fleet Foxes"
6. Coldplay - "Viva la Vida"
Not Yet Released:
Bad Veins debut album will more than likely be on the top list at the end of the year for me. I'd place bets on them now, that they end up walking away as "Artist of the Year" at next year's CEA's, aside from a few other awards they'll probably win.
Ray Lamontagne has his hands full with the follow-up to the very successful "Till the Sun Turns Black"
Ben Folds has leaked "fake" versions of six songs from the new album "Way To Normal", which will be released at the end of this month.

Death Cab for Cutie - "Narrow Stairs"
Bon Iver - "For Emma, Forever Ago"
The Raconteurs - "Consolers of the Lonely"
