BIG D's favorite singles of 2008

Not necessarily TnJ related, but these 2008 numbers hooked me from the get-go:

1) INFAMOUS STRINGDUSTERS - Loving You
2) HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD - Hell or High Water
3) FLOBOTS - Handlebars
4) RACONTEURS - Top Yourself
5) MY MORNING JACKET - Evil Urges
6) GNARLS BARKLEY - Run (I'm A Natural Disaster)
7) YOAV - Club Thing
8) DUFFY - Rockferry
9) LIPBONE REDDING - Never Forsake You
10) STEPHEN MALKMUS & the JICKS - Real Emotional Trash

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

Worst song of 2008, possibly of all time, is "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" by SOULJA BOY TELL'EM. This is what happens when you let YouTube designate hit records.

Favorite video of 2008 - "Run" by GNARLS BARKLEY. Super-psychedelic (at least in its unedited form), and I still have a hard time believing Justin Timberlake is actually cool (go "Southland Tales" and "Give it on up for Homelessville!"). Too bad "The Odd Couple" isn't as great an album as 2006's "St. Elsewhere."
