A few lists I've been working on....


2008 Freewave Awards

In a spot poll you picked the top albums of the year (based only on a handful of suggestions). From this purely unscientific and limited poll we've gathered this top 10.

1. Fleet Foxes: Fleet Foxes 24 votes 11%
2. Bon Iver: For Emma, Forever Ago 24 votes 11%
3. Portishead: Third 22 votes 10%
4. MGMT: Oracular Spectacular 19 votes 8%
5. TV on the Radio: Dear Science 15 votes 6%
6. Vampire Weekend: Vampire Weekend 15 votes 6%
7. M83: Saturdays=Youth 15 votes 6%
8. Santogold: Santogold 12 votes 5%
9. Cut Copy: In Ghost Colours 11 votes 5%
10. Colday: Viva la Vida 10 votes 4%

16 % of you didn't find your top album as available choices....thanks for playing
