I have made a list for the last twenty years and decided to post it here this year. I welcome any suggestions that I might have missed.

As you can see, my taste is different than most "audiophiles", or maybe I haven't met them yet.

2008 was a great year for music.

Please let me know what your favorites are....

And I don't get the myopic comment. I would assume you meant the list choices were narrow or close-minded yet you are the one who doesn't recognize any of the artists. I don't follow.

Wow! I am amazed that there are people on Audiogon that listen to "my kind" of music. Don't get me wrong, I love classical and jazz, too. I'm a huge Miles Davis fan and I could listen to nothing but Beethoven for the rest of my life, and be perfectly content. This is great!

Thank all of you for the recommendations. Now that I know there are people with similar tastes to mine, I will be using this forum a lot more.

Has no one mentioned the Drive By Truckers, Brighter Than Creation's Dark." It's a very good album.
Timbrepitch, hang around, the threads concerning music are worthwhile.

Theraiguy,

Fully agree with you.The amazing thing is that very few people has heard of them.

Certainly better than Coldplay, don't you think?
