Me. Music. 2008.
Every year I like to use the Smart Playlists feature in iTunes to find out what my favorite songs of that year were. Why go by what my heart says about the year in music, when I can look at statistics? Check out 2007 for an example. All I do is make a smart list of music with the year set to 2008 and sort by the play count. Simple. Effective.
The list created by this year, however, was galactically boring. Just take your favorite tracks from the latest Gnarls Barkley and Radiohead albums, and toss in some Kings of Leon, Weezer, and NIN.
I’ve decided to mix it up, and make a list of songs I “discovered” in 2008. This list uses the date added option (which can include any era of music except 2008) in making an iTunes smart playlist, again, sorted by most played. Discovered doesn’t necessarily mean, heard it for the first time in 2008. It can also mean songs I knew and already loved, but they weren’t added to my music collection until this year.
Here are the top 25 songs I discovered in 2008:
- Born Slippy by Kupek
- God Moving Over the Face of the Water by Moby
- Time to Pretend by MGMT
- Everything is Wrong by Moby
- Through the Fire and the Flames by Dragonforce
