Celesbians' Top Albums of 2008

Sara of Tegan and Sara (Top 10 Albums)

1. T.I., Paper Trail

Anything with Rihanna guesting is my kind of jam.

2. Ra Ra Riot, The Rhumb Line

Killer. Plus Tegan and I both love it — a small miracle when we both like something.

3. No Age, Nouns

4. F----d Up, The Chemistry of Common Life

Dallas, from City and Colour, recommended this to me. I love it. Sometimes on the subway, it makes me feel like I'm going to have an anxiety attack, but it helps with the "taking two stairs at a time" vibe I have when I hit the streets.

5. Atlas Sound, Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel

Became a pre-show favorite for me. Calming, but also strange.

6. Flying Lotus, Flying Lotus

Similar to my feelings above - great pre-show music, for both me and the crowd.

7. An Horse, Rearrange Beds

Bias! I love this band.

8. Jennifer O'Connor, Here With Me

This is my morning tea music. Sometimes I imagine myself stretching or lounging in a beam of sunlight, but generally just stare in horror in my e-mail inbox and swill coffee down my throat.

9. Chad Vangaalen, Soft Airplane

His voice makes me feel like crying and his albums make me think of snowshoeing.

10. Times New Viking, Rip it Off

Loud, fun.

Becky Kupersmith of Von Iva (Top 5 Albums)

1. The Black Keys, Attack and Release

I've been a fan of the Black Keys for some time and this record totally lives up to their past releases. Minimal, catchy — it has a timeless quality.

2. Jazmine Sullivan, Fearless

She brings something new to old soul, and blows Amy Winehouse and Duffy completely out of the water. I love her attitude and spirit. Perfect for heartbreak.

3. Kylie Minogue, X

Kylie can do no wrong.

4. Kraak & Smaak, Plastic People

Quality dance music. I am not allowed to listen to this while driving the van because I get all excited and start speeding!

5. NNCK, Clomeim

I'm not trying to be pretentious, but this record is freaking amazing. If you need something to stimulate your mind as well as your heart and soul, then check them out.

Rachael Cantu (Top 2 Albums)

1. Passion Pit, Chunk Of Change

This may be one of the most addicting group of songs ever created. Try to not dance to this; just try.

2. Antony & the Johnsons, Another World

Heaven is a voice and it goes by the name of Antony. Antony has one of the most honest, unique and intriguing voices I have ever heard, and it blows my mind every time.
