Not to be the antithesis of everything, but I honestly didn't remember a lot of 2008. I had really only one album I listened to the whole year practically and that was released in like, '99 or something. I actually liked kanye's newest album. The 808 was a nice sound that I wasn't used to hearing. I've always liked his backing tracks. I also really enjoyed chinese democracy. I know that most people's opinion is "needs moar slash LOL" but it had a nice layered sound and axl showed off a pretty decent range in writing and singing throughout the whole thing. I never listened to anything off of Narrow Stairs but the singles, which isn't like me, but I enjoyed those, just not enough to get the album.
2008 was actually kind of weird for me. I didn't really get into any full albums (other than Chinese Democracy) but I ended up liking things I normally wouldn't care for. I guess I'll just leave it at that.
