This is My 2008 in Music (as told by Jeff of PopSense)

PopSense is exactly as it claims: a higher awareness of cultural truth. And the truth is good.


Editor Jeff also has some ideas on what he thinks rocked the pop world this year. Have at it buddy!

1. Best Album of 2008
Fleet Foxes: It was the dose of baroque harmonic goodness that I unknowingly needed at my core.

2. Favorite Single of 2008
Sam Sparro - Black and Gold : try not to groove to this... I dare you.

3. Guiltiest Pleasure of 2008
Three way tie: Viva La Vida , Love Lockdown , and The Ting Tings (and alliterations, apparently?)

4. Best New Artist of 2008
Ra Ra Riot

5. I Hated _______ in 2008
All the time I spent hating on the Jonas Brothers

Jeff rocked out to Sam Sparro and Ra Ra Riot , but do you think these artists are listworthy? We sure do! Now, if you don't have a clue whom either are, and really how could you not, you may help yourself to some audio assistance below.
