DeVotchKa - "A Mad & Faithful Telling"
This one stung but despite how much I love DeVotchKa I had to leave "A Mad & Faithful Telling" off the top 10 list as it just didn't impress me as much as their earlier releases did.
So, what are yours?

I am forever-friends with the bassist of Cloud Cult (Shawn Neary). We went to elementary, middle, high school, college together. We played music together, too - an enterprise that elicited this feedback from my brother: "I pretty much just tune out everyone except Shawn."
SOOO proud of him! Go Cloud Cult, go green music, go Shawn!
vampire weekend has been Ares (and the rest of ours) fav since the summer!! it's sooo good will check out the rest! you have such good taste1
I'm always a bit behind the times when it comes to new music, and most of the stuff I listened to in 2008 was released in years prior, but my three favorite '08 releases were:
Jenny Lewis: Acid Tongue
James: Hey Ma
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: Dig, Lazarus, Dig
Older music that was new to me: Hem, Grant Lee Buffalo, Elbow, Kasabian.
Glad to see VW at the top. Can't say I'm familiar with many of the others.
