Bon Iver album was released last year.
Bon Iver, good pick!

Bon Iver came out early 2008, in Ireland anyhow! Now if you'd said Yeasayer came out in 2007, you'd have been right.
Bon Iver's album was originally released on a small scale in 2007, but only got its general worldwide release this year.
I've pondered over its inclusion on my own best of year list, and concluded that it's definitely a 2008 album. Seems to be the general consensus anyway...
Hi Allon
(I heard you changed the spelling of your name.)
Most of them there albums in that there list are wrong. Some of them are in the wrong positions and most of them haven't been released yet.
Bon Iver was released in 2005. I have a copy to prove it and it's just coming up to the end of 2005 now, so there's No Way it wasn't released till 2007 or 2008.
If you'd said that Honky Tonky by the Boom Frown Bats was released in 2007, then you'd be right. Or if you'd said The Best Of by The Ovaltines was released in 2008, then you'd be right too.
But you didn't say that now, did you?
Tatiana, if you wrote what you wrote there in a couple of weeks from now, then you'd be right too.
But you didn't, now, did you, ey?
You clearly wrote it this year, not next year.
Other than that, well tried everybody, I admire your wrongness.
Christmas gratings.
