The music industry calls declining CD sales a shift in the market. But what do you expect in a world in which attention spans are short, a song is better than an album, and a ringtone is better than a song? Thankfully, there are still artists who have something to say and refuse to sing in sound bites.

This year, the cadre of old-fashioned troubadours who wanted more than a hit single included icons such as B.B. King, Willie Nelson and Mavis Staples, as well as newcomers like the Black Kids and Welsh chanteuse Duffy.

They, as well as a few of rock's strongest bands, delivered some of the most listenable, memorable and influential records of the year, albums that somehow keep finding their way to the top of the playlist.


5. "Chinese Democracy," Guns N' Roses

After more than 14 years of waiting, Axl Rose finally delivered "Chinese Democracy," making the most delayed record in rock history a reality. With this collection, Rose, the lone gunner from the original band, truly continues the GN'R legacy. His voice is terrific whether he's rendering a power ballad or reaching for his falsetto in a pop-metal rocker.

"CHRIS MARTIN & CO. ROCK THEIR WAY TO THE TOP OF THIS YEAR'S BEST ALBUMS"  That ruined all credibility...

I'd say "Sorry" is one of the best songs on the album, up there with "Madagascar" and "Prostitute."

Was anyone else reminded of Everlast's "What It's Like" in terms of Axl's melody/tone on this song?

In terms of best albums of 2008... Well, metal/hard rock did see some anticipated releases, some for the better, some for the worse, but it looks like classic rock/metal is making a comeback.


2008:

1. GNR - Chinese Democracy
2. Judas Priest - Nostradamus
3. Metallica - Death Magnetic
4. Motley Crue - Saints of LA
5. AC/DC - Black Ice

Any other albums that could fit into this category?
