Just chucking up some quality tuneage from 2008 in a kind of rough order at the moment. 1. Rise Against - Appeal To Reason 2. Emarosa - Relativity 3. Anberlin - New Surrender 4. The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound 5. Run Kid Run - Love At The Core 6. Funeral for A Friend - Memory And Humanity 7. Flogging Molly - Float 8. American Music Club - The Golden Age 9. Milloy - Creating Problems While Practicing Solutions 10. Drag The river - You Can't Live This Way 11. Small Towns Burn A Little Slower - And So Begins The Test Of A Man 12. The Quireboys - Homewreckers And Heartbreakers 13. Millencolin - Machine 15 14. Hawthorne Heights - Fragile Future 15. Gutter Twins - Saturnalia 16. Counting Crows - Saturday Nights And Sunday Mornings 17. Alkaline Trio - Agony And Irony 18. Quietdrive - Deliverance 19. Valencia - We All Need A Reason 20. Dillinger Four - Civil War A damned good selection, but I would put either Dillinger Four or Milloy at one, chuck in Valencia, The Hold Steady and Bob Mould. Rise Against is a cracker, would make top three. The concise Sunday Morning reply, which took less consideration than yourself. What about those Trousers the other night! ;D

Lol, had to quickly jump in on this one ;D Yep, a fine collection for the Toshmeister - Waaaay, different from my list this year tho I gotta say - Hammock, Aarktica, The Static Silence all missing lol (Yep Chunders me ol Mucker - all limp indie pish lol) Agree with Rams tho - will prob have Milloy a tad higher and surprised you missed out Search This City and Secret And Whisper tho. Also the new Senses Fail is pretty freakin awesome - production is outta this world ...tho are you not jumpin' the gun a little with FFOF dude? Unless you've got a secret source of course cos that baby aint even leaked onto What.cd yet

Dave - I am just pulling in Senses Fail from Kraytracker the now so haven't heard it yet - Production alone don't make a quality album tho as you know, so I hope they've got some strong songs to back it up.
Search This City - should be in there and not FFOF that is what you call a train of thought wrecking and causing mayhem - I will be swapping them roond to what they should have been from the start. embarrising mistook!
Chunders - yep those were indeed the wackiest breeks I think I have ever seen! ;D. Valencia is actually in the list just pretty far down at the moment and I guessed you would defo have the ol' bob meister in there along with the greatest rock hype this side of Radio 1 - "The hold Steady"
As the opening tag lne says boys - rough order!! who knows where Milloy might end up 1 or 20??

Well, after much (er...ok, a wee bit) of deliberation and cogitation, I up for yr perusal and abuse a tentative top 25 of the year 1. The Daysleepers - Drowned In A Sea Of Sound
A year in the making, The Daysleepers return with their full length Clairecords Debut! "Drowned in a Sea of Sound" takes nothing but the best elements of the band's highly acclaimed EP's and blends them with some entirely new experimental soundscapes. The Daysleepers trademark sound of mixing Dreampop, Post-Punk and New Wave styles is still very much present, and at times pushes even beyond those boundaries. Imagine the sounds of the Cure, Cocteau Twins, The Chameleons and Slowdive rolled into one. These 10 tracks touch on a wide variety of sounds and emotions ranging from spacey ethereal drones to blissful up-tempo dreampop beauty. For fans of the early out-of-print EP's, "Hide Your Eyes" and "The Soft Attack", "Drowned in a Sea of Sound" is a must have. It is proof that The Daysleepers have fully matured and discovered their true sound.]2. Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound 3. Milloy - Creating Problems While Practising Solutions 4. This Will Destroy You - This Will Destroy You 5. Funeral For A Friend - Memory And Humanity 6. Lightsway - Summer Interlude 7. Secret And Whisper - Great White Whale 8. Auburn Lull - Begin Civil Twilight 9. The Tim Version - Decline Of The Southern Gentleman 10. The Static Silence - Found11. The American Dollar - A Memory Stream 12. Senses Fail - Life Is Not A Waiting Room 13. Resplandor - Pleamar 14. The Loved Ones - Build And Burn 15. Search The City - A Fire So Big The Heavens Can See It 16. Kyte - Kyte 17.Rise Against - Appeal To Reason 18. No Man - Schoolyard Ghosts 19. Bridge & Tunnel - East/West 20. Chris Mills - Living In The Aftermath[/color] 21. Tearwave - Different Shade Of Beauty 22. Emarosa - Relativity 23. Slow Dancing Society - Priest Lake Circa '88 24. Gregor Samsa - Rest 25. Small Towns Burn A Little Slower - So Begins The Test Of A Man 26. Pacific UV - Longplay Vol2 27. Lowgold - Promise Land 28. Dillinger Four - C I V I L W A R 29. Mike Hale - Broken With No Hope 30. Flogging Molly - Float...........a bit different lol ;D Edit : Cosmetics, realised mine looked like crap lol Edit - Coupla Glaring Omissions added - top 27 anyone? lol Edit - Yet more weird shit added lol
