It only feels like yesterday we were wiping their bums, watching their first walk and hugging them after their first day at school but they have to grow up at some point.
And they have. 2008 was a cracking year for music.
It was a year for landmark ladies as music royalty Lady Gaga gave us The Fame and fierce Queen Bey unleashed Sasha and Single Ladies on us. Coldplay owned the airwaves with their Frenchy revolutionary themed anthems. MGMT had their huge smash album (we haven't seen them since) Kanye West unveiled his addiction to auto-tune Elbow took over over wedding playlist and Adele's global takeover took it first fresh faced steps.
Here we go:
Coldplay - Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends
Lady Gaga - The Fame
Beyonce - I Am... Sasha Fierce
MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
Adele – 19
Bon Iver- For Emma, Forever Ago
Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
Kanye West - 808 and Heartbreak
Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid
