If Kings of Leon can go mainstream maybe there is hope that The Black Keys could at least sell a few more records.Keith Joplinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06998159721857577032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463447418837327675.post-66757367003829398902008-12-22T03:29:00.000-08:002008-12-22T03:29:00.000-08:00I always try limit to myself to three.Album of the...I always try limit to myself to three.<BR/><BR/>Album of the Year<BR/><BR/>3.

It hasn't really worked, has it. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment, there's a few on your list I need to check out. I couldn't get with Fleet Foxes, though. <BR/><BR/>There's too much music & so little time.Keith Joplinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06998159721857577032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463447418837327675.post-47112885589103944272008-12-17T07:02:00.000-08:002008-12-17T07:02:00.000-08:00I'm not quite so sure.

Although there have been some gems.<BR/><BR/>My favourtes, in no particular order:<BR/><BR/>Frightened Rabbit - The Midnight Organ Fight<BR/>Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes<BR/>Shearwater - Rook<BR/>Lykke Li - Youth Novels<BR/>My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges<BR/>Wild Beasts - Limbo, Panto<BR/>Conor Oberst - Conor Oberst<BR/>Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago (mainly for the brilliant Re: Stacks)<BR/><BR/>p.s.
