2008 Top 20 Tracks… according to Flores
Well, the year is almost officially over and it couldn’t come soon enough… it’s time for my TOP TWENTY SONGS OF 2008!
You know I’ve never been the kind of person who could say with full conviction which movie is my favourite of all time or what the best restaurant is. See, I find it will almost always be dependent on how you feel at that particular point in time.
Of course, music is the same way. Even the most mundane routine in your day to day life can be perfectly captured by some song. And that song at that exact moment is the best song there could be… (Garden State would not have been as good a movie without that amazing soundtrack)
So anyways, it goes without saying then that I had some difficulty selecting my TOP TWENTY.
There are definitely songs on my list that have been fully rinsed in 2008. But hey what can I say? I ain’t no snob… I’m a fan of pop music just as much as I am a fan of the indie and sub-pop jams.
I won’t bore you with a commentary on each track.
Here are twenty 2008 tracks that have stood out to me… haters, get your hate on:
20. Metronomy – A Thing For Me (Mad Decent’s B-Live Miami Mix)
19. Matt & Kim – Good Ol’ Fashion Nightmare
18. Santogold – Say Aha (Tepr Remix)
17. The Kills – Cheap and Cheerful
16. Ratatat – Mirando (YACHT Remix)
14. Friend – Secret
13. Mike Jones ft Lil Wayne – I Done Did It
12. Feist – I Feel It All (Escort Remix)
11. Radiohead – Reckoner (Diplo Remix)
10. Kid Cudi – Day ‘N Nite (Crookers Remix)
9. Lykke Li – Little Bit (CSS Remix)
