You know, I found 2008 to be a lot more about digging than previous years, but I thought that some of the best records I've heard in a long time made it onto shelves.
Beck's Modern Guilt was a fantastic album, and I'm reasonable certain that, when the time comes to look back at our musical age, he will be seen as a visionary and a legend.
Both My Morning Jacket and Kings of Leon made some big strides with some relatively commercially successful albums as well.
Aside from the big albums, there was also a lot of really cool independent stuff released, especially here in Canada. If you're looking for some good music, I would always recommend checking out cbc radio 3, I've heard some amazing new things from bands like the Tom fun Orchestra, The Carps, The D'Urbervilles, The Constantines and the United Steelworkers of Montreal, just to name a few.
