Okay, I've scoured albums, playlists, miscellaneous mp3 folders, workout mixes, regular mixes, my iTunes, my iPod and even my external hard drive - and now I think I'm ready to bring you my favorite songs of 2008. While this was a year that saw my commitment to the blog waxing and waning and my interest in the newest of the new occasionally doing the same, I still consumed a TON of new music this year, and loved some of it as wholeheartedly as I've ever loved music before.
My rules for creating this list are pretty simple. Only one song per artist can appear on the list (which is awfully tough when I love whole albums, but you know, I had to draw the line somewhere). I had to at least briefly be at least mildly obsessed with each song, in a stick-it-on-repeat-for-an-hour or make-it-my-ringtone kinda way. The list generally counts down to my absolute favorite, but the specific ranking is calculated using a completely subjective formula taking into account how long ago I initially fell in love with the song, how I feel about it now, how often I still listen to it, specific memories tied to the song, and other entirely indescribable reasons for putting it before or after another song.
Honestly, I've been shuffling the order for almost two weeks, and I could continue to do that but this list would never get posted. Rest assured I love each and every one of these songs.
