Another nice one is the self-titled debut from MEIKO – certainly on my fave albums of 08 list

I would add:

Byrne/Eno
Hold Steady
Calexico

Albums on this list that are totally worth $5, especially if you figure that said figure is the cost of a slice and the soda at the ridiculously overrated NYC pizzeria Artichoke:

Year Of The Gentleman (duh)
M83, Saturdays = Youth
Santogold
Vampire Weekend (yes really) (honestly it's more '80s Postcard indiepop than Graceland to me but I guess once you put something in the water, etc)
TVOTR
Portishead
Coldplay, Viva La Vida
REM, Accelerate

I might buy the Cut Copy, too, just 'cause I don't seem to have it.
