magodeoz Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 As the year 2008 has come to an end, I'd like to ask you what song has been your 2008's favourite. My choice is Elbow's 'Grounds For Divorce' [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqD8iEirDFM]YouTube - Elbow - Grounds For Divorce: Video[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Grounds For Divorce or One Day Like This. The latter just about wins it for me. This is one of my best moments of 2008: [ame=http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ILxlVqf2fYU]YouTube - Elbow "One Day Like This" Glastonbury 08[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deaths_friend Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 i found it interesting that alot of the best artists of the year have not been able to reproduce their great music live on stage. having heard and seen alot of vampire weekend live i found them to be monotonous and bland on stage only saved by an awesome crowd. MGMT are half the band in concert that they are on CD. fleet foxes set the standard way way too high on their album and no matter how hard they try live, it will never sound as good to me. other top artists like Death Cab For Cutie and Bon Iver arent exactly ideal either. and on the home front the guys from Cut Copy arent the most charismatic on stage. all of these band made brilliant albums but in the end i was underwhelmed by their live shows. here's a song i thought sounds great on cd and live. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSxZs8Y1z_A]YouTube - The Raconteurs - Salute Your Solution (Live Bonnaroo 2008)[/ame] and an artist i never thought i would like.

airieslady Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Raconteurs is great live... saw them last year! Here's one that nobody probably knows... Ghostland Observatory... did a live show on Austin City Limits... they are great live, and it's only two guys. Sort of like the White Stripes, but more electronica. They put out debut 2 albums in 07 and third in 08 with DVD of the Austin show. Sad Sad City rocks! I copy the YouTube, but embedding is disabled on request so just go there.

RadioMad Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Reckoner is 2007 imo. Not 2008 ;) The Killers - Spaceman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkfY58pWyOs Neeto! I uploaded that video! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainloafers Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Im with the Elbow crowd. Ground For Divorce, One Day Like This, Mirrorball, The Bones Of You... Take your pick. Then Time To Pretend from MGMT follows closely behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famous Old Painter Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I really couldn't choose one, there were so many great songs! Rue The Days - Young Knives Evacuate (original version) - The Boxer Rebellion The Prophet - Shihad The Architect - dEUS The Bears Are Coming - Late Of The Pier Ares - Bloc Party Someone Like Daniel - Cut Off Your Hands etc etc... Just too many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kackie Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 My favorite songs of the year were mostly non-single album tracks, but with a few singles mixed in. House of Cards by Radiohead (if that counts) Love is Noise by the Verve Judas by the Verve Good Days, Bad Days by the Kaiser Chiefs This is the World That We Live In by the Killers Joyride by the Killers Meg White by Ray Lamatagne (sp?) Disturbia by Rihanna (I can't believe I just said that) Oh No by Andrew Bird (though technically that came out just after the end of the year) If I Never See Your Face Again by Maroon 5 Tonight We Have the Stars by Bryan Adams live version of "Invisible Sun" by the Police on the new 'Certifiable' DVD/CD probably more too but I'll have to think. I work in a music store, so I hear sooo much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
