Best Songs of 08

[TSLROCKS]

What are some of your favorite songs of the year

One of my favorites has to be Moving Mountains by Thrice

[googirl8907]

Twenty Years by Augustana is one of my favorites.

[Ouch]

Moving Moutains is fucking awesome.

Hessian Peel by Opeth is fucking intense, also, on a different note, Bixby Canyon Bridge by Death Cab For Cutie.

just naming a few.

[TSLROCKS]

Twenty Years by Augustana is one of my favorites.

I love that song but Fire is the absolute best song on the album imo. That's also easily one of my favorite songs of the year

Fire is actually my least favorite song on the album but overall the album is great.

[mimexcore]

"Quarantine" by Phantom Planet was a beautiful combo of surf rock, made-in-a-garage distortion, and suspenseful ambience.

[TSLROCKS]

I really like Leader on Phantom Planets last album. Really good album overall

[mimexcore]

I really like Leader on Phantom Planets last album. Really good album overall
I completely forgot about Leader! It's the most sinister camp song sing-a-long out there.
Raise The Dead is such an underrated record

[bowl of oranges]

Bon Iver- "Re: Stacks"

[wroteurname]

There are a bunch of songs on Folie a Deux but I'd have to say ...
Just Another Day/Weak Man/Window-Good Old War
The Youth-MGMT
Boy-Bayside
Lenders in the Temple-Conor OBerst
Here's Looking at You, Kid-The Gaslight Anthem
You're Not Salinger, Get Over It-The Wonder Years
Sometimes we Have Too Much Fun-You, Me, and Everyone We Know

[TSLROCKS]

I love Weak Man by Good Old War too. That's also a great album overall

[-ben]

"I, The Swan" (TSOAF) is such a jam. I don't even like the rest of the record

[harveymonster]

I'm thinking I Can Feel A Hot One by Manchester Orchestra. Or the Still Fly cover by TDWP. It's not one of my favorite songs, it was just around a whole lot this year with my friends. This song will probably bring back some memories of this year.

The Resistance by Anberlin

[mayday mayday]

A Milli - Lil Wayne

I didn't listen to much new music from '08 this past year. I was busy discovering back catalogs and getting really into some older hip-hop. That being said, here are some of my favorite songs/singles from '08:

MGMT- Kids
MGMT- Time To Pretend
MGMT- Electric Feel
Panic at the Disco- Nine in the Afternoon
The Killers- Human
John Mayer- Say
Nas- Hero
Lupe Fiasco- Superstar
Lupe Fiasco- Hip Hop Saved My Life
Brad Paisley- I'm Still A Guy

Favorite Guilty Pleasure- Taylor Swift- Love Story. I can't help it. That song is just good.

Also, my favorite demo of '08 was Race The Sun- Revolution. Great song. I thought they were coming back for sure when I heard this...wish it woulda happened

[fueledbyerin]

my personal best new band of 08 would be 3oh!3, but my favorite 08 song would have to be a tie between 20 Dollar nose Bleed by Fall Ou Boy and Fallin' Apart by The All American Rejects.

Im sure to most other people they aren't because they dont have life changing lyrics, and they most likely wont become classics, i just like them and listen to them a lot.

Jack's Mannequin - Hammers and Strings.

true, and its the same with many bands (cough cough metro station cough cough) but i like them now and you know what, thats all that care about. i dont care where the music i like is next year.

And the only people who wouldnt rmember them are people with Alzheimer's and people who live under a rock, because either you really like them or you really hate them.
