I have not heard a single complete album from this list, although I came pretty close with Vampire Weekend. This leads me to believe that my top 33 would be wildly different from most music critics (either because I have become very old or because I am incredibly uncool), especially since I haven't even heard of 1/3 of this list.

So what are your top albums/songs/concerts for 2008 (and by you, I do mean you)?
