peteteacher2001 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Every year the folks at jambase.com ask musicians from the "jam" scene to give them their top 5 albums that they listened to this year and shows they attended: http://www.jambase.com/Articles/16163/JamB...;s-Best-Of-2008 So I figured I would take a stab at it. By the way, with albums, it can be a re-issue or a new release of a concert from a long time ago. 2008 Albums (in no particular order) Ryan Adams and the Cardinals- Cardinology Galactic- From the Corner to the Block Metallica- Death Magnetic My Morning Jacket- Evil Urges Slipknot- All Hope is Gone Live Shows: Ryan Adams and the Cardinals: Fox Theater in St. Louis in October Soulive @ The Broadway Oyster Bar in StL. Bonnaroo: Pearl Jam, Metallica, Chali 2na w/ Galactic, Soul Stew Review, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, many many more! One thing about this link that I did notice were two albums that came up with artists no matter what the genre the artist was in. Radiohead: In Rainbows Racontours: Consolers of the Lonely I WILL be purchasing these albums very very soon!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splotchman Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 as with splotchman, Vampire Weekend deserves a nod.as does Death Cab For Cutie's Narrow Stairs +1 on "Narrow Stairs". Almost made the cut and liked this one much more than their Big Label Debut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 - Fleet Foxes - "Fleet Foxes"-Okkervil River - "The Stand Ins" -Sigur Ros - "Med Sud I..." -Vampire Weekend - "Vampire Weekend" Excellent choices. I'd add Jose Gonzalez - In Our Nature All the other albums I discovered this year were released in 2006 or 2007. I'm getting old and slow on the uptick.

I'm getting old and slow on the uptick. I need to pick up Jose's disk. I got 1 track as a freebie as part of a Bonnaroo download, but still have not gotten the entire album. Check out TV on the Radio's "Dear Science". Great stuff. My top album of 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheikYerbuti Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Radiohead - In Rainbows Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid Can't decide which goes #1. #3 - Vampire Weekend. Nothing else grabbed my ear last year. I can see the love for Raconteurs, but they're a little too close to a White Stripes knock off to me.
