#45. Be Your Own Pet - Get Awkward
#44. The Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely
#20. Kings of Leon - Only by the Night

Of course, this isn't to imply Rolling Stone is the slightest bit relevant these days. Which, actually I guess is the only thing that winds up making this list kind of interesting. It's like having those couple of radio-friendly bands you always wind up talking about with your semi-cool uncle while visiting the family because those are the only bands you like that he's heard of.

So, in an only slightly relevant segue, I think I actually care more about what Cream readers found to be tops in '08 than the fogies at Rolling Stone. There's been a lot of squabbling, bitching, moaning, groaning, praise and condemnation this year over what's good and what isn't. Who's got a Top 10 they want to share? Mine's after the cut to be scrutinized at your leisure.

1. Kanye West - 808s and Heartbreak
2. Crystal Castles - Crystal Castles
3. Girl Talk - Feed the Animals
4. Ghostfinger - The Feeler
5. Santogold - Santogold
6. Lil Wayne - Tha Carter III
7. Common - Universal Mind Control
8. Jay Reatard - Matador Singles '08
9. Jasmin Kaset - Jasmin Kaset
10. Cheap Time - Cheap Time

i don't see why everyone is making a big deal of this i'm just tired of seeing that kanye dissed taylor on like every website, you should respect him for saying what's on his mind, and he apologized twice, and it he didn't mean to he even said he was happy for her and i don't see why it bothers everyone else it has nothing to do with everyone else, and it doesn't even bother taylor as much, but don't get me wrong her video was good
