TrueFaith you've got some interesting titles there.
A few of my favorite's from this past year (or so):

1. Shelby Lynne "Just A Little Lovin'".
2. Alison Krauss & Robert Plant "Raising Sand".
3. Duffy "Rockferry".
4. Garbage "Absolute Garbage".
5. Elvis Presley "That's The Way It Is" (2008 Remaster FTD Label).
6. L. Buckingham "Live At The Bass Performance Hall".
8. Jewel "Goodbye Alice In Wonderland".

My list of course isn't all from '08, but they are the titles
I've played the most in the past year. And my list isn't
listed in any particular order, I like them all.

Who's next?

Harps & Angels - Randy Newman

The Formation of Damnation - Testament

Obzen - Meshuggah

When You Were Shouting at the Devil... - Zimmer's Hole

Not released this year, but still in CONSTANT rotation on my stereo and mp3 player due to the overwhelming amount of awesome:

Blood Mountain - Mastodon (2006)

The Blackening - Machine Head (2007)

Aw yeah.

Blackwater Park is great, but Ghost Reveries is in my #5 ALL-time list...Holy Sh*t that album is great!!! Watershed is growing on me, especially the track "Burden".

Forgot Zimmer's Hole album too, the video for "When You Were Shouting at the Devil..." is classic!!!

Don't see this one yet- Mudcrutch. How 'bout the new 3 Doors Down album, that was pretty good as well. Oh, and that loser from that band, he just put out a solo album again. What was it? Gift of Nails or something, I think.
