Not my best list, but not the best year. I dont' want to voice my opinion on each song, but a few random thoughts: 1. This list is a lot more "poppy" than previous lists, a lot more radio music. Probably a reflection of my eroding youth/hipness. 2. I didn't stick to the strick rule that this represents the best songs that I can fit onto 1 audio CD. Does anyone still listen to audio CD's? 3. Bleeding Love is a great song. Anyone who saw Mark and Chelsea's take on SYTYCD has gotta agree with me on that. 4. I can't get enough of Ras Trent "Me toil part time at jah Cold Stone Creamery". Kills me every time. 5. I recognize a few of these weren't officially released in '08 (Kevin Drew is '07 and Matt and Kim is '09), but I listened to them in '08, so ...
'09 looks to be pretty promising. I saw the Ting Tings at Glastonbury on Music HD and really liked Great DJ. Also, I read about Dent May on Rather Be Pogging yesterday, today I bought the album, bought tickets to the show at the Independent (Feb 28), and I'm trying to join the fan club.
