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
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.
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
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
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.
Intervention is the song of the year for me. (No Cars Go is great too)
Arcade Fire - Intervention
LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends
LCD Soundsystem - Someone Great
Good, the Bad and the Queen - History Song
The Rentals - Sweetness and Tenderness
are all highlights but my pick is.....
Feist - 1,2,3,4
Cathy Davey - Reuben
The Killers - Read my mind
Feist - 1 2 3 4
Richard Hawley - Tonight the streets are, ours
Richard Hawley - Serious
Bloc Party - The Prayer
Kings of Leon - Fans
Probably 'Same Jeans' by The View.
Been another lean auld year really.;)
505 - Arctic Monkeys
On Call - Kings of Leon
No "I" in Threesome - Interpol
Rest my Chemistry - Interpol
Jacqueline - The Coral
Masaai - Damien Dempsey
History Song - The Good, The Bad and the Queen
Kingdom of Doom - The Good, The Bad and the Queen
Intervention - Arcade Fire
No Cars Go - Arcade Fire
Your Love alone... - Manics
Jimmy Eat World - Dizzy
Social Distortion - Far Behind
It's been a shocking year.
Arcade Fire's No Cars Go is years old, re-released in 2005 on the seven track EP.
Sure how could you expect the hordes of trend jumping morons who've 'discovered' the band in the last year to know something like that? :DQuote:

Arcade Fire - Windowsill (after No Cars Go)

Bloc Party - Waiting for the 7:18
Radiohead - All I Need/Weird Fishes/Bodysnatchers etc any from In Rainbows really
Battles - Atlas

Would any from The World is Yours(Ian Brown) make it in?Just downloaded it recently so havent had any proper listens.

and whatever about re-releasing No Cars Go , sure its still better than any ****e that came outta this year....
Picked up the new Springsteen album over the weekend, Radio Nowhere is a top tune.
Nothing else comes to mind that hasn't already been mentioned, not a classic year for music :(
Album version is vastly different thoughQuote:

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 ipodQuote:

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