[gustavo]

Whats everyones favourite songs of the year?
some of mine would be
Arctic Monkeys - Brianstorm
Kings of Leon -Charmer
Arcade Fire - Intervention
Foo Fighters - Let it die
Timbaland - The Way I are
Cathy Davey - Reuben
Radiohead - Videotape
Interpol - Heinrich Maneuver
Manics - Send Away the Tigers
Kaiser Chiefs - Angry Mob
The Hold Steady - Stuck Between Stations

[superfrank]

Arcade Fire's Intervention or No Cars Go and Prince's Guitar or The One U Wanna C.

I like loads of the tunes played in the clubs but it seems to me it's been a pretty crap year for music. I mean Hey There Delilah is a terrible song, imo.

[shedite]

Killers - For reasons unknown
Snow Patrol - Open your eyes
Chemical Brothers - Do it again
Fallout Boy - Thanks for the memories
Twang - Either Way
Give it to me - Justin and Nelly Furtado
The Fray - How to save a life
Cribs - Man's Needs

[CollegeTillIDie]

Cribs - A Man's needs is the only song I can readily Identify so far and that's cause of Soccer AM.

Scrolling back....... have the Prince album and ''Guitar '' is a good song as is '' The One U Wanna C ''!
There's a single being released in December called Elvis Ain't Dead by Scouting Girls I think saw the video today.. Good song but it will probably be counted in the 2008 summary given it's not being released as a single till 10 days before Christmas.

My favourite of this year has to be on reflection '' Your Love Alone Is Not Enough '' By The Nina Perssons featuring Manic Street Preacher :D

[Pauro 76]

Charmer - Kings of Leon
Do Me A Favour - Arctic Monkeys
Intervention - Arcade Fire
All I Need - Radiohead
Mammoth - Interpol
The Pretender - Foo Fighters
Tarantula - Smashing Pumpkins
Golden Skans - Klaxons
The Prayer - Bloc Party

not a huge amount of classics this year though.

Picked up the new Springsteen album over the weekend, Radio Nowhere is a top tune.

The Hold Steady seem to be an interesting, quirky sort of band. I haven't heard too much of them (Stuck Between Stations, and a couple of other tracks on Youtube) I can't make up my mind whether I really like them or not. Anyone got their album ? Is it any good ?

[sonofstan]

The Hold Steady.... Anyone got their album ? Is it any good ?

Good songs - some great, even - but it sounds awful - compressed to f**k; hard to listen to all the way through -sounds like it was recorded to be listened to on an ipod

[Iorfa]

Battles - Atlas




Amazing song.

Also:

Low - Murderer
Sigur Rós - Í Gær
LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends
Okkervil River - John Allyn Smith Sails

Stann,

That Ladytron song must have been released 3/4 years ago. Class song though, couple of good ones on the album too.

[Anto McC]

I personally thought Kings of Leons song "on call" was better than "fans", am i the only one?

Kings Of Leon - On Call


Ehhhh, no. :D

Fair enough, don't know a lot about them, have only heard a few of their tunes and only heard that song recently. Was it only released as a single this year maybe? No matter, they're one of the bands I just never got around to getting into, but will be putting that right soon. :cool:

[gustavo]

LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends




LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends

Cant believe I'm only discovering this now, what a song
