re-Re-REPOST: Top 50 Tracks Of 2008

SO, my post got deleted for some odd reason so this is a RE-REPOST!

THESE TRACKS ARE FOR SAMPLING ONLY! IF YOU LIKE LISTENING TO IT, YOU SHOULD GO AND BUY THE ALBUM OR SONG OFF OF iTunes OR SOME OTHER LEGAL SITE! LITERALLY USE THIS SITE AS YOU WOULD YOUTUBE AND JUST SAMPLE EACH MP3!

So, this is my list of the best of the best of 2008. As hard as it was to make a list of the 50 best (and as cliché as that was to say) this is the best I could do. People asked me last year, "Hey, wouldn't whatever album you give #1 have the best songs?"

I will explain: these are the best SONGS. Just that individual songs. There are some songs that you, when listened to in sequence of their surrounding album tracks, are some of the best tracks ever. However, this is a list of the best songs that stand alone in excellence. You could hear this song alone and know nothing of the album or artist and like this song.
If you heard some other song on "The Carter III" or "Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill" you might not like it alone but in context it rules. These are the songs taken out of context (context being that of the album)


There are links to each song to listen and download (if you need to know how just comment and I'll explain it). If you right click it (or control-click for us Mac users) you can open each link in a new window. That way it won't be a constant going back and forth from each site to site.

Please let me know what you think, good or bad.

This is 2008:
