Favorite Albums of 2008 So Far?

NPR wants to know (and I'm curious, too): What are your favorite albums of 2008 so far? They've posted this nifty poll and want you to vote. Are your top picks even on the list? A few of mine are definitely missing. Though my taste changes hourly (it's my prerogative), right now my Top 3 would include: Santogold, Flight of the Conchords, Esperanza Spalding, and Robyn. Damn, that's four. Well, that's ok. I'm in charge here today.

Plant & Krauss, "Raising Sand". Yeah, I know it came out last year, but it came out late and really didn't take off until this year. The tour has also been a knockout by all accounts.

My top 5 so far:
Al Green - Lay It Down
Jamie Lidell - Jim
Estelle - Shine
Throw Me The Statue - Moonbeams
Erykah Badu - Erykah Badu : New Amerykah Part 1: 4th World War
That makes me seem like some sort of R&B crazy. I suspect this will change as the year (or week or evening) goes on.
