Metallica - Death Magnetic

How can an album that doesn't even have it's tracklisting out yet, be the album for the year? That would be like me busting a nut over Dig Out Your Soul as album of the year (despite being over 2 months away).

[Evil Chase K]

Because it's my list and nothing I've heard this year has impressed me at all, let alone as much as the snippets of the songs I've heard from Death Magnetic.

[supergrass]

I've left out 85-92, mid-nineties were where my interest in music began. While I've gone back and discovered a lot of things from the 70s, 60s, 50s, there isn't really anything about the 80s I enjoy so I've left it out.

1985 - 1992: n/a

1993: Suede - Suede

1994: Oasis - Definitely Maybe

1995: Supergrass - I Should Coco

1996: Ash - 1977

1997: The Carlatans - Tellin' Stories

1998: Oasis - The Masterplan

1999: Muse - Showbiz

2000: The White Stripes - De Stijl

2006: Dirty Pretty Things - Waterloo To Anywhere

2007: Jamie T - Panic Prevention

2008: Dirty Pretty Things - Romance At Short Notice or Lightspeed Champion - Falling Off The Lavender Bridge

My 2008 choice will be finalised once Oasis have released and I can weigh up the three option (or unless something else comes along).

[whiskers]

Damn, a topic purge took the one I'd already filled out on another forum... This is going to be tough. And include a lot of Pearl Jam and Meat Puppets.
