Top Tracks Of '08
Top PLAYED Tracks of 2008; One track per artist
(Obviously they weren't all released this year. MOST of them weren't, in fact) |
| 1 | Coldplay
Viva La Vida
Damn good song. Epic. I've just seen them live and the chorus of 'woah's before the last chorus was one of the most spine-tingling things ever. |
| 2 | The Ataris
So Long, Astoria
Wow. I love this song but I'm surprised it's SECOND in these charts. Oh well! |
| 3 | Yellowcard
Down on my Head
YC have always been a guilty pleasure but this song is just far too catchy and addictive. |
| 4 | Mayday Parade
Jamie All Over
Down and to the left... |
| 5 | Death Cab for Cutie
What Sarah Said
Almost the only thing worth listening to repeatedly on Plans, but this is beautiful and so, so well written. |
| 6 | Snow Patrol
Disaster Button
I so didn't manage to love this album but this track might be the best thing they've ever done. |
| 7 | Sherwood
Gentleman of Promise
Power-pop at its very, very best. |
| 8 | Jimmy Eat World
Let it Happen
At one point over the summer I could relate to this so much I hardly turned it off for 2 weeks |
| 9 | Frightened Rabbit
My Backwards Walk
Honest, melodic, emotional, and very, very clever. Meet 2008's best album, and the album's best song. |
| 10 | The Goo Goo Dolls
Slide
I picked up their Greatest Hits and loved it; 'what you feel is what you are and what you are is beautiful'. |
| 11 | Garth Brooks
The Change
No idea what it is about this song but it always gets me. |
| 12 | Guillemots
Made Up Love Song #43
I rarely use the word 'pretty' to describe music but I feel it is warranted here. |
| 13 | All Time Low
Six Feet Under The Stars
Basically the anthem to my first year at uni. |
| 14 | Bayside
Talking of Michelangelo
Just can't escape this. 'There's only so many chances that you get to do something that's this important...' |
| 15 | The Hoosiers
Clinging on for Life
Hahahaha. This actually annoys the s**t out of me. I recommend you never listen to it because once it's in your head it will never ever leave. |
| 16 | Nada Surf
I Like What You Say
Just fantastically addictive pop music. |
| 17 | Jack's Mannequin
Swim
The melody, the piano, the vocals. |
| 18 | The Postal Service
Such Great Heights
I doubt I will ever stop playing this. I heart Ben Gibbard. |
| 19 | The Hush Sound
Momentum
Didn't reckon on this making a top 20. Great song though. |
| 20 | Interpol
Pioneer to the Falls
Love this album; love this song more. |
