worst-

maxwell-"pretty wings" (check out my video sig)

hey to be fair kanye said that isn't the finished robocop version


not that i think it's gonna be any good either way.

This is my first time hearing that Maxwell, but its pretty dope. I always liked his songs. I was going to add that Tpain song, but I didn't want to look like a Lil Wayne stan. He just happens to be on either really good songs or really good produced songs.


Yeah I don't think this song will be good unless he adds something special to it. It took a while for the other three songs already leaked to grow on me, maybe this will too. *shrugs*

Annoying: Damaged By Danity Kane and Ride a bike with no handle bars & a millie. Uggghs to the max. Lollipop and Low were okay til Radio Killed it.

Best: Can't Believe it, Love in this Club Pt. 1&2, Moving Mountains, Us against the World, The boss.

Idk if I should put on my worst list "Can't Believe It" by T-Pain, and all the bunch of people that covered it. I honestly don't get what's so good about that song. o_O

Best:
- Gym Class Heroes ft. Dream - "Cookie Jar"
- Kanye West and Estelle - "American Boy"
and more

i dont knoww what its called but it goes

"she dancin on the floor like she naked
when she lay with you i know she fake it OHH"

Best:
Jazmine Sullivan - Lions, Tigers, and Bears
Usher - Trading places

Have to add
Best: Tpain ft. Ludacris - Chopped and Screwed

Song is fire.

Also
Rich Boy - Drop

I didn't know dude could spit like that.

A Milli is probably among the best and the worst songs I've heard this year for shared reasons. The song has no verse structure and the beat is simplistic. It's an 808, snare and a screwed voice sample. So why is it so popular? When you throw in an inconsistent rhyme scheme in addition to humorous, impressive and downright lame metaphors in the mix, it doesn't equate to success. Even though Lil' Wayne and his image gets on my nerves, I cannot deny that this song broke the mold. So much for counting bars and structuring a song.

Best song: Co Star by Day 26

I've been obsessed with this for the past 2 months.

who gives a f*ck about popular music?

Just because it's popular doesn't mean it's shit.

brilliant observation dawg

Yeah its amazing how creating a simple beat and looping a sample from a song can make for a nice beat.



Ewwww Cheryl, Gay 26?

just kidding.


Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy - Amazing is a dope song. Gotta add that to the list.

I agree. Should a song not gain recognition if it's good? If a song is good then it's popular for a reason. I know that doesn't apply in all or even most cases, but that doesn't mean all mainstream music is crap.


Ew is that you, GayC the snowman?

Worst - Any Lil Wayne song

Best - Santogold L.E.S. Artiste
Santogold, Williams, Casablancas - My Drive Thru
The Ting Tings - Shut Up And Let Me Go
The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name
Vampire Weekend - A- Punk

After overdosing on some old school Detroit Techno and deep house from the 90s, I can't help but put Love Lockdown on the list. The song is better than most people realize.

Perhaps KanYe's new style will open doors for artists like Felix da Housecat, Pase Rock and A-Trak.

Love lockdown is sick though

i still just can't get myself to feel love lockdown i'm trying but it's not there for me, especially after hearing heartless, coldest winter, streetlights.

It's too hard to come up with the best, but the worst has definitely got to be "Lollipop" by Lil Wayne. That song is so f*cking dumb.

"LES Artiste" is overrated and "My Drive Thru" is repetitive, which is upsetting because they're all awesome artists.


Oh god, one can only hope. Pase Rock is the shit.

SILENCE! Naw, I hate when MTV Gets a hold of something and runs with it, because then it becomes too much. Thank God Vampire Weekend didn't suffer from the MTV Band Label. L.E.S. Artiste is hot though. My Drive Thru is good....did you hear the full version of it?

Yeah. I played it obsessively for like two weeks this past summer then I realized there wasn't much to it. The beat doesn't change up that much. It could've been a little more... Strokes, you know? Something more like N*E*R*D than Neptunes.

True. Williams is on the next strokes album...I HOPE HE DOESN'T BLOW IT.

If he doesn't, that song has the potential to be instantly classic.

Uhm not just a song...THE WHOLE FREAKING ALBUM supposedly. I pray MTV doesn't get their paws on this. Well at least MTV USA.

Damn, I gotta read up on this now.

I hate Decode by Paramore.

Best? I don't know. Katy Perry's Hot N Cold? n___n

Are you f*cking stupid? Paramore DOMINATES Katy Perry.
Your music taste is HORRIBLE!

How is she "f*ucking stupid" because she doesn't like Paramore? I hate Paramore, but my tastes aren't horrible. I don't like Katy Perry, but if I had to choose, I'd go for Katy.

Do the songs have to be from this year or that I HEARD this year?
Best: "Sunrise, sunset" - Bright Eyes.
Worst: Anything by Fall Out Boy...

Kanye West - Love Lockdown
Kanye West - See You in My Knightmares
John Legend - It's Over (f/ Kanye West)
Q-Tip - We Fight/We Love (f/ Raphael Saadiq)
Q-Tip - Believe (f/ D'Angelo)
Rick Ro$$ - Luxury Tax (f/ Lil' Wayne, Trick Daddy & Young Jeezy)
Kidz in the Hall - Middle of the Map, Pt. 2 (f/ Black Milk & Guilty Simpson)
Atmosphere - Yesterday
Lil' Wayne - A Milli (to include a host of freestyles by other artists on the same beat. F'Real. Jay-Z and Asher Roth, FTW)
T.I. - I'm Illy
T-Pain - Chopped N Skrewed (f/ Ludacris)
T-Pain - Change (f/ Akon, Mary J. Blige & Diddy)
T-Pain - Karaoke (f/ DJ Khaled) [So, yea, even though DJ Khaled annoys me, this is a hot track. As a matter of fact, one of the hardest songs to come out all year may have been dropped by an r&b singer who relies heavily on autotune.]

Best:
Damaged - Danity Kane
Womanizer - Britney Spears
When I Grow Up - PCD
Single Ladies - Beyonce
Disturbia - Rihanna

Worst:
Any Usher song that came out.
Any Day 26 song that came out.
Heidi Montag - Higher
V.I.C. - Get Silly
Marco Polo - Bow Wow

"Love Lockdown" by Akon has to be one of the worst in my opinion. I seriously can't stand that song

"Womanizer" wasn't the best song either.
Neither was anything by Miley Cyrus.
"When I Grow Up" is pretty low on my list also.
As is "Take a Bow", "Low", and "Lollipop"

Best...uh not really sure. My favorite currently is "Gives You Hell" by All-American Rejects. I also really liked the new Coldplay stuff like "Viva la Vida" and "Violet Hill". "Human" by the Killers was good, and I actually liked "Let It Rock" by Kevin Rudolf. 'Cept the part with Lil' Wayne. I could've lived without that part.

^Fail. Just because you don't like a song doesn't make it a bad song.

kanYe West dropped 'LL,' not Akon.

Whoops. That's what I meant. Haha XD

And isn't this about what you think are the best and worst songs of the year? If you don't like a song then you obliviously don't think that it was the best song of the year. SO, point being, I did not fail.

Not quite. You're in a discussion about music. I didn't care for G-Unit's T.O.S. because the whole image of 'gangsta' in hiphop is greatly flawed in this day and age. That isn't to say that the tracks didn't seamlessly blend from one to the other or that the production wasn't absolutely stellar. It didn't sell, and it isn't publicly appealing. There's a mass hatred against all things G-Unit, but the LP was on point. It's all in how you look at music.

808s & Heartbreak, love it or hate it, is easily the best album of the year. That doesn't mean you have to bump it 24/7 or even like kanYe West as an artist. But simply 'not-liking' a given track doesn't make it bad.

Did I lose you?

^You didn't lose me, and in fact I think you make a very good point.

But the point I'm trying to make is that chances are that if you don't like a song then there must be a reason why you don't think it's a very good song. There has to be something wrong with it that other people would find unappealing also.

I also understand that many people would not think songs I like are some of the best songs of the year. I think it all falls down to taste.

Some of the reasons the songs I didn't like this year were personally the worst for me were because of various reasons such as lyrical value, beat, tempo, etc., etc.

Favorable:
808s and Heartbreaks. Obviously an album with meaning.. and well, thank goodness Kanye came through trying something new, it's not always possible.
Viva La Vida. Did I miss it in this topic or was it not mentioned by anyone? This is a duh for me.
Paper Trail. Nothing too epic, but at least I know T.I. is still worth listening to.
Vampire Weekend. Finally something un-mainstream. Or at least for now. Arguably one of the best albums of 08, tops well on most critics' charts. I loved this. Lovedddddd.
'Make It Mine' and 'I'm Yours' by Jason Mraz. The second one's overplayed but it's still great.

Unfavorable:
Cute is What We Aim For was epic fail with the new album. They sold out.

Um, other than that I really don't have a lot of unfavorables, I actually grow a liking to stuff most of the time.

the worst ; GET LOW by flo rida & tpain.

I think that if you take a moment out of your day to click this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV28YP3c5Ng you will agree that this will be the worst song you have heard this year.

And Kaskade: Move For Me takes the cake for me

That song came out towards the end of 2007.
