We All Want Someone's Best Songs of 2008: #20-11 Welcome to WAWSTSF's #20-11 best songs of the year. These are tracks that were pretty much the best of the best of 2008. These are songs that got my attention all year round and got plenty of play count raises even during the intense album listening period that is winter in order to get an album list ready. Give them a go, and I promise you should find something that you like, or hate. Either way give it a go: 20. Sigur Rós - Gobbledigook - This first single from the Icelandic band [...]

We All Want Someone's Best Songs of 2008: #30-21

We All Want Someone's Best Songs of 2008: #30-21 Here We are going into the top 20. These songs I couldn't get enough of during 2008, but just fell short of making the top 20. No worries though, these songs are all still pretty different genres, but all of the same quality. To me at least! I hope you guys enjoy numbers 30-21, and to look for the rest of my list soon: 30. Kings Of Leon - Sex On Fire - The first time I heard this song was when KOL played it live (for the first time EVER) at All [...]

We Want Someone's Best Songs of 2008: # 50-41

We Want Someone's Best Songs of 2008: # 50-41 Here we go. These are more of my favorite songs than the "best". Since best is an objective term to me these are the songs that I enjoyed the most of 2008 and to me they are songs that I will keep on playing as the years go on. Here is numbers 50-41 with mp3's and a few quick thoughts on them: 50. The Rural Alberta Advantage - The Ballad of The RAA -Constant pounding bass drum, lush synths, Jeff Mangum like vocals, beautiful strings. Everything gets together and the result is haunting. [...]

We Want Someone's Best Songs of 2008: Honorable Mentions

We Want Someone's Best Songs of 2008: Honorable Mentions I always wanted to make a best list and see if I actually had the patience and motivation to do one. It never came but now since I have this blog I finally stopped being lazy and tried to put some form of list together. I didn't start my blog until late July and didn't realize I would need to track my songs. I didn't do it by play count since I usually tend to overplay songs when they first come out, before concerts, with friends etc. If I based it on play count it would basically be Vampire Weekend, [...]

Abbey's Top 20 Local Songs of 2008

Since there were so many incredible local releases this year, it would've been negligent to not have a solely local Best Songs of 2008 list. I expanded the idea of 'local' to go beyond Seattle and include our musical neighbors to the south, Portland. Hope you enjoy my first Best of list of 2008, more lists coming soon! 1. The Moondoggies - Changin' 2. Wild Orchid Children - Birth of a Cabin 3. The Dutchess and The Duke - Resevoir Park 4. Kay Kay and His [...]

Pitchfork's Top 10 Tracks Of 2008 (With MP3's)

No matter how annoyed and pretentious their reviews can come off, we can all agree that Pitchfork does have a great taste in music. I mean some of the stuff that they post is too obscure for the tightest jean wearing hipster, but they do show us a lot of cool new music that we may have not heard of otherwise. Their top 10 singles is a pretty solid one this year, most of them I can honestly say I am putting on mine once I get around to it. #8-#1 are all some of my favorite songs from the [...]

2008: Time Of Songs (The Best Of The Year)

As discussed in the All Songs Considered year-end podcast , songs outshone albums in 2008. Call it a sign of the times -- the death of the album, a bad omen or just an off year -- but I found myself replaying single tunes over and over again. I'm not sure whether I like this abbreviated version of my usually completist musical affection; the stammering and stuttering of a collection of singles cohering around a playlist as opposed to the fluidity of an entire album. But I'm too busy enjoying the bits and pieces that I cobbled together from [...]

The Best Songs of 2008

The Best Songs of 2008 Most music dorks, whether professional or amateur, love end-of-the-year listmaking time. Clearly, your friendly neighborhood editors are nothing if not music dorks. As such, we've put our heads together and nailed down our list of the best songs of 2008. It includes some ultra-familar tracks, like our chart-topper "American Boy," but we also fell in love with some less-well-known jams like the bluesy ramble of José James' "Spirits Up Above" and the slinky throwback funk of Menahan Street Band's "Make the Road by Walking," which Jay-Z sampled on one of our favorite songs of last year, "Roc [...]
