Best Songs of 2008
Yeah, it is a bit late to be posting a ‘best songs of 2008′ summary, but think of it this way – most companies have only just finished reporting Q4 earnings and you still haven’t finished your taxes. 2008 is far from over. And I’m going to propagate 2008 just a bit longer.
My criteria for “best songs of 2008″ is a little fuzzy. I’m not strictly focused on songs that are literally recorded in 2008. This list includes songs that I loved during 2008, which could be old and could be new.
The simplest way for you to enjoy this is, in my opinion, is to listen to it in your favorite MP3 player. No description necessary – these great songs should speak for themselves. Just click on the link to get an m3u playlist.
