Ik heb nog niet veel albums uit 2008 gehoord dus ik houd het bij een top-5.

1 | 5,0 | The Kooks - Konk
2 | 4,5 | Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly - Searching for the Hows and Whys
3 | 4,5 | Coldplay - Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends
4 | 4,5 | Girls in Hawaii - Plan Your Escape
5 | 3,0 | Milow - Coming of Age

Toch al vier zéér sterke albums gehoord waarvan ik aangenaam verrast werd door GCWCF en Girls in Hawaii die ik voorheen nog niet kende. Maar dit jaar brengen zo goed als al mijn favoriete artiesten een nieuw album uit, dat wordt hopelijk dus nog smullen.
