    Nice list, all these songs are great

  2. Anonymous

    whoa, weezy overload?

  3. BJ

    Pretty good list. Don’t get the hype around Lil Wayne.

    I would’ve put different MGMT and Santi tracks in there (e.g. Kids and L.E.S Artistes)

    Also Cut Copy – Lights & Music should get a mention.

  4. jason

    good list, but I really thought i’d see Bon Iver, Beach House, or Fleet Foxes on this

  5. Joel

    Fantastic! You have such great taste in Music!

  6. Mike

    Fantastic! You didnt rank Campus at No.1!!

    I see growth! haha.

    but srsly, great picks. maybe not my list, but all choices are great and memorable 2K8.58 songs

  7. John

    glad PMA has the balls to put Lil wayne, Coldplay, and Weezer in its list

  8. Chris_x

    cut copy? fleet foxes? hold steady? death cab? hot chip?

    they’d definitely be on my list

  9. Anonymous

    good list. it’s missing Sigur Ros, along with a few others, but definitely Sigur Ros!

  10. Christian

    oh wow, very european

  11. Little Boy

    i love that you chose a robyn song. i hate that you chose cobrastyle

  12. good list, did PMA needs some hits?

    ratatat

    sébastien tellier

  15. Edd

    11. 4. 3. 1. are the only ones in your list i would pick.

    i would have the cazals, sebastian tellier, ratatat and one day as a lion in their somewhere

  16. glenna

    lykke li wins for best voice of 2008.

    seconding sebastien tellier, but this also sorely lacks some cut copy. in ghost colours is the best album of 2008, unless somehow some amazing thing comes out in the next 5 months

  17. james

    10. hospital ship- i want it to get out
    9. megapuss- duck people, duck man

    4.sigur ros- gobbledigook
    3.the ruby suns- adventure tour
    2. no age- miner
    1. dodos- red and purple

    megapuss had to get honorable mention on account of including the almight aziz ansari.
    mean list though, pma
