Tommy Boy finally put out his Top 20 of 2008 (found here), and he included a neat idea: his "5 Found Albums of 2008," older albums that he got into last year. After some thought, here's mine:
5. Archers of Loaf: Icky Mettle (1994)
When Chaz was home for Christmas, he suggested I give them a try as I was describing how much I liked Pavement and Built to Spill.
4. The National: Boxer (2007)
C Murder saw them in concert and said they deserved a second chance, and I will admit I do very much enjoy this album.
3. Neutral Milk Hotel: In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (1998)
I had always heard certain tracks off this album and loved them. I finally bought the Album itself last year and I'm pissed I waited so long.
2. The Tough Alliance: The New School (2005)
I think I meant to get this long before, but it was an import I had trouble tracking down.
1. The Hold Steady: Boys and Girls in America (2006)
For some reason I couldn't stand them in college... now they are one of my favorite bands.
