Disturbed December 21st, 2008 7:16 AM

My favorite of '08 is definetely Re-Education (Through Labor) by Rise Against.

It's one of my favorite songs right now ^^

Nick December 21st, 2008 8:32 AM

This question's possibly the hardest question I've been asked in a really long time. There were a lot of songs released in this year alone; the majority of them make up my music library. I can't think of a single song that stood up against the rest and proven to be my favorite song of the whole year without having doubts of my choice. Perhaps I'll just narrow it down to my favorites and choose from there. My favorite songs in my library consist of songs that were all released in 2008 and they include
  • Britney Spears - Circus
  • Britney Spears - Phonography
  • Cascada - Because the Night
  • Cute is What We Aim For - Doctor
  • Lenka - The Show
  • Rihanna - Disturbia
Out of those selected, The only ones that I tend to listen to are the Britney Spears songs and Lenka so that eliminates the rest of them.

Out of those remaining, going lyric-wise, I think Lenka - The Show has more meaning to me than the remaining songs (which would be Circus and Phonography; though they are very catchy, they don't have lyrics that mean much to me (or as much as lyrics in The Show means to me)). So I'm going to go with Lenka - The Show as my favorite song of the year.

Opacus December 21st, 2008 8:34 AM

The Day that Never Comes from Metallica probably.
Glad they finally put out a nice album again. Unlike the abominal St. Anger.

SethCullen December 21st, 2008 8:46 AM

Paramore- Decode.

Twilight mixed with paramore..

Ahhh. XD

or maybe even Womanizer by Britney.

Just because on great her comeback was.

Haza December 21st, 2008 9:17 AM

I Am Not Drunk by Benny Benassi!

Hot Like Wow - Nadia Oh! Its really hot

Starstruck - Santogold now. I cant stop playing it.

Acnecore by Scream Club.

If you have a weak stomach dont listen to it.

¡No Hablo Inglés! December 21st, 2008 10:43 AM

I wasn't exactly a huge fan of a lot of music released this year, especially things like Rap, Hip Hop and RnB, I've just never liked music of that style. I prefer Alternative Rock and similar styles. Nonetheless there's been a few songs that I've really liked released in 2008.
For example:
  • UFO - Newton Faulkner
  • Pork and Beans - Weezer
  • Resonance - T.M.Revolution
  • Viva La Vida - Coldplay
  • Violet Hill - Coldplay
  • NAKED LOVE - ナイトメア (Naitomea/Nightmare)
To be honest, I like all of those songs, but if I had to choose one, it'd probably be "Resonance", simply because I'm a huge fan of T.M.Revolution and J-Rock in general. xD

Aegis December 21st, 2008 11:01 AM

If I had to chose one, it'd be TABOO by 倖田來未 . Such an amazing song omg *-* I've listened to it over 700 times since it was released in like... October XD; But yeah, TABOO is definitely my favourite <3

Jeremy December 21st, 2008 4:42 PM

Well sweeties, my favorite song of 2008 is:
"Whatever you like" by Weird Al

It's hillarious and in my opinion an improvement of TI's original song of the same name. XD

Thomas December 21st, 2008 4:51 PM

Here are some of my favorites:

-Melt My Heart to Stone by Adele
-Womanizer by Britney Spears
-Poker Face by Lady GaGa
-You Don't Know Me by Ben Folds (feat. Regina Spektor)
-Not Now But Soon by Imogen Heap
-I'm Good, I'm Gone by Lykke Li
-Hideaway by The Weepies
-Bad Girlfriend by Theory of a Deadman
-Viva La Vida by Coldplay
-Green by Brendan James
-My Mistakes Were Made For You by The Last Shadow Puppets
-Warwick Avenue by Duffy
-Honey by The Hush Sound
-A-Punk by Vampire Weekend
-If I Never See Your Face Again by Maroon 5 (feat. Rihanna)

Gummy December 21st, 2008 5:16 PM

All that comes to mind at the moment:
  • Viva la Vida by Coldplay
  • Kissed by a Rose by Seal
  • Piece of Me by Britney Spears
  • Lots of songs by Ne-Yo
  • Lots of songs by Rihanna
  • Lots of songs by Lil' Wayne

moments. December 21st, 2008 5:22 PM

Hot'n'Cold Katy Perry
Life in Technicolour - Coldplay

:laugh:

There are so many remixes of the original, the Obama one , this etc... All of them are so awesome.

Personally, I love Lady GaGa's Pokerface. Utilizes the sucess of Just Dance by using its melody altered slightly. Pure genius!

I used to love Poker Face, but I am bored of it now. I still love Just Dance though, one of my fave dance tracks.

Guillermo December 22nd, 2008 2:28 AM

So... hard. I'd have to go with; S.C.O.M. -- Celph Titled, Ryu, Juelz Santana and Mike Shinoda. I love the beat, the lyrics and the tune of the music. It's quite an expressing song as well, so... that takes it.

Eruption December 22nd, 2008 2:32 AM

Decode but thats only just better than Violet Hil and Viva La Vida.

Or quite a few songs from Day & Age.

Ben Kenobi December 22nd, 2008 3:37 AM

Ghost Division by Sabaton from the album The Art of War, which is my favourite release this year. Also speaking of which, there's quite a few other albums I need to check out.

Syaoran December 22nd, 2008 7:41 PM

1. Mogwai - Daphne and the Brain
2. CSS - Give up
3. Sigur Rós - Festival
4. Portishead - The Rip
5. The Pineapple Thief - Tightly Wound

Rockéttes December 23rd, 2008 3:35 AM

Steady, As She Goes by The Raconteurs.

I dunno, I've listened to it over and over again, but it's never gotten old. o_o;

.inLOVE December 23rd, 2008 6:33 AM

Circus by Britney Spears. And Viva La Vida.

Black Ice December 23rd, 2008 1:22 PM

Yeah, Viva La Vida is definitely one of the best songs to come out this year.

Haru Haru by Big Bang is good too, but sadly I don't understand any of it =/

@Gummi - I think you mean Kiss From a Rose by Seal, and that song came out nearly 15 years ago lol. It's a good song, though, I guess.

I love their new song "Many Shades of Black"

FalseSwipe December 23rd, 2008 5:46 PM

Rock 'n Roll Train by ACDC
Nothing even comes close to this^

Ho-Oh December 23rd, 2008 5:57 PM

Forever - Chris Brown
Gotta Be Somebody - Nickelback
Someday Soon - Natalie Bass-- I can't spell her name.
Circus - Britney Spears
Live Your Life - Rihanna

And that's basically the order of favourite to least, and they're all my favourites right now.

Live Your Life is not a Rihanna song, it is a T.I. song FEATURING Rihanna.

Spinor December 23rd, 2008 7:42 PM

Mmm... Let's see

Through the Fire and the Flames- DragonForce
Heroes of Out Time- DragonForce
All Star- Smash Mouth

That's about it, all the Rock music I hear is cool, but these are my top picks.

Ryusheika December 23rd, 2008 8:38 PM

Probably my favorite song of 2008 would be:

Chu-bura by Kelun

Candace December 23rd, 2008 8:44 PM

Mannequin by Katie Perry

I don't even like Katie Perry, but that song is addictive


DonRoyale December 23rd, 2008 10:22 PM

Guys, this is a discussion of best song of 2008. Songs not from 2008 don't count...

Regardless, uhh...

Kevin Rudolf featuring Lil' Wayne - "Let It Rock"
Kanye West - "Love Lockdown"
Protest the Hero - "Sequoia Throne"
Cancer Bats - "Hail Destroyer"
Marianas Trench - "Cross My Heart"
Framing Hanley - "Lollipop"
Jasmine Sullivan - "Bust Your Windows"
Keri Hilson featuring Timbaland - "Return The Favor"
Britney Spears - "Womanizer"
Britney Spears - "Circus"
The All-American Rejects - "Gives You Hell"
Lady GaGa featuring Colby O'Donis - "Just Dance"
Lady GaGa - "Poker Face"

Call my taste in music odd; I tend to dislike rock bands from America. They usually get whored out by Guitar Hero / Rock Band, which makes me tend to dislike them.

But bleh, if I had to pick one, it'd either be "Throne" or "Just Dance"; they had the most lasting power.

And I just went on my iPod to check of songs I know I forgot...to see that it's broken. Gives me all the more push to beg my dad for a new one for Christmas, since I haven't asked him for anything yet. =|

Haza Divo, this thread asks for your favorite song. You have listed four songs here scattered throughout this thread. It might as well be considered SPAM if you continue. If you feel the need to add anymore songs to your favorites, edit your post. Don't make a new post. That's just asking for an infraction (since you lack any reason as to why the song you stated is your favorite).
