Wow. Your music taste must really be horrible if any Blink related band made your top five (minus Boxcar Racer... they actually are good.)

[I'm A Cunt [*banned*]]

Boxcar is incredibly boring, am i the only one that thinks so?

I discovered majority of what I listen to in 08, Its about impossible for me to narrow it down to 5 but I'd say:
(in no order, except for Thrice)
Thrice
Hollywood Undead
Alkaline Trio
Saosin
Oasis

I had heard all these bands before (minus Hollywood Undead) but was never actually into them.

i know D4 have been around for years, but i did mention at the top that this can be bands you have discovered this year, not just "new" bands. i only discvered them this year
