Funnily enough, my own favourite from 2008 was released at the beginning of the year as well... [/b]
That might well be one of my choices by the end of the year - I have read lots of good things about it and look forward to hearing it soon.
Already a whole load of possibles are lining up at the starter's gate. For me, I expect U2, Depeche Mode, Morrissey, Pet Shop Boys, Aidan Moffat & The Best-Ofs (already the package of the year, no question - there is even a board game included!), Client, Bill Callahan and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy to feature in the top 10 list, and that's just ones I know about. There will also be a Foxx or two to contend with. Now I just need to sort my money out ...
