JDK's Favorite Music of 2008

This might sound ridiculous, but I'm going to list my favorite albums of 2008 before Pitchfork does. Because, well, I don't want to look like a Pitchfork copycat. (Though, come on, "Blind" by Hercules and Love Affair as song of the year what the fuck?) I plan on doing this a bit more thorough, with explanations and some other fun, but for now, I'll just toss up a list.
