Top 80 Songs of 2008

It's time! 2008 has not been a stellar year for music, but there have definitely been standout tracks and albums that are worthy of mention.

This is my second year of making year-end lists for Best Albums and Best Songs.  Making these lists is an arduous task that I take waaaayyyy too seriously.  It's geeky.  Nevertheless, it's my favorite hobby.

Last year, I tackled albums before songs, but I've done it the other way around this year.  Here are my Top 80 Songs of 2008...
