Colours was played on Top Gear once, I really enjoyed it so i downloaded it a few days ago to give it a test.

Some of the songs on there are absolutely fantastic! My favourite is torn between You, Appearing and Midnight Souls Still Remain.

After listening to it, I immediately bought the album. Its so good!

Nine Inch Nails - The Slip
Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius pip - angles
Metallica - Death Magnetic

The exact same three I'd have picked, with a fourth:

Seasick Steve - I started out with Nothing..

Listening to the Scroobius album at the moment, it's ****ing amazing.

I must admit, I haven't really been listening to much from this year. The main albums from 2008 I've been listening to are:

Chase & Status (more than a lot)
Mogwai (The Hawk Is Howling)
The Mars Volta (The Bedlam in Goliath)
N.E.R.D. (Seeing sounds)
Sickboy (Time to play)

So what have you lot been listening to that's stood out this year?

You have a VERY similar music taste to me. so all the above^

It's not a 2008 release, but since I only heard about/got it this year, my favourite album of 2008 is: Pentatonik - The Five Angels.

More about Pentatonik here.

Coldplay - Viva la Vida or Death and all His Friends

Perhaps we could get an OCUK Top Ten Albums of '08 going?
