Best songs and hits of 2008 <3

The absolute best tracks always end up being on those top-tier albums of the year, don't they? :D

Chris Hall47 said:I suppose the best tracks always seem to end up on those standout albums of the year—those rare, cohesive records that actually manage to hold everything together. It’s a bit of a pattern, I guess. 😁

Is that Oklen’s take? I don't know—I guess I'd say the new Futureheads record is pretty garbage, though even if it is, they still managed to snag one of the biggest hits of the year. Okay, maybe "garbage" is too strong—I can't really call it trash when the opening is actually brilliant; those first four tracks are genuinely great. But everything else... well, the rest is just a letdown. 🙂 It’s definitely not making any "Album of the Year" lists for me. Honestly, if I had to pick just one track from the new Silver Jews record that actually holds its own—maybe even deserves a spot on a year-end hits list—it would be that one single song. As for the Killers, I haven't even touched their new material yet, so I really can't say much about the album as a whole... though, I will say, human Los Campesinos is an absolute massive hit in my book.

I don't get that ^^ part... okay, so Coldplay - Viva la Vida
Portishead-Machine gun
36 Crazyfists-All The Night lights
happy ???????!🙄

There were some truly stunning tracks released this year. I made a point of not including more than one song per artist—it wasn't a particularly difficult choice, given that Radiohead dropped their record last year—and I’m focusing strictly on the absolute best of the best.
