Nice list, all these songs are great
whoa, weezy overload?
IAWTP
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.
good list, but I really thought i’d see Bon Iver, Beach House, or Fleet Foxes on this
Fantastic! You have such great taste in Music!
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
glad PMA has the balls to put Lil wayne, Coldplay, and Weezer in its list
cut copy? fleet foxes? hold steady? death cab? hot chip?
they’d definitely be on my list
good list. it’s missing Sigur Ros, along with a few others, but definitely Sigur Ros!
oh wow, very european
i love that you chose a robyn song. i hate that you chose cobrastyle
good list, did PMA needs some hits?
more of a strange yet powerful desire than a need…
i know, i’m blogsick.
yeah !

i also loved in 2008 :
fleet foxes
dragons of zynth
hot chip
ratatat
hercules and love affair
sébastien tellier
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
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

8.wolf parade- language city

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.
