Had a HUGE grant proposal due this week, so I am late getting this up…so, this week’s topic is 10 Great Songs from last year. I was tempted to just pick 10 songs off the AT&T Team USA soundtrack they had available during the summer Olympics in Beijing – what great songs! Very uplifting and inspiring, I listened to them over and over. But, for this list, I managed to restrain myself and look at the whole year. There were actually a number of songs from 2008 that still make my current personal “hot 100″ list (in random order):
—Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It (Darius Rucker) – how awesome to see him back!!! I still miss Hootie, but he makes a surprisingly good country singer…
—Love is Free (Sheryl Crow) – fun song AND great concert
—We Run (Sugarland) – ’cause doing what you shouldn’t's half the fun…
—Incomplete (Alanis Morissette) – so good to hear her back, too
—Single Ladies (Beyonce) – I know, I know, but it’s insanely compelling
—Real (Goo Goo Dolls) – just awesome
—In Color (Jamey Johnson)
—I Was Here (Lady Antebellum) – great new group, despite the dumb name; this song was the highlight of the Olympics album
—What If It All Goes Right (Melissa Lawson)
—Crazy Ever After (The Rescues)
—Bad Girl (Danity Kane) – yeah…
—I Don’t Care (Fallout Boy) – the album has the same name as my fav California winery … yay!
—Come on Get Higher (Matt Nathanson) – I know, technically the album came out in 2007, but it was actually the Sugarland cover in 2008 that made me aware of the original … GREAT song
—It’s a New Day (will.i.am) – yes we can!
—What About Now (Daughtry) – I’m a sucker for “seize the day” music…
—Untouched (The Veronicas) – love this group, don’t know why they haven’t been more popular
—note: at the time, I loved Dreamer (Chris Brown), another highlight off the AT&T Olympics soundtrack … but, the whole beating-the-crap-out-of-Rihanna thing now colors this to such an extent I can’t listen to it anymore
I know that was more than 10, couldn’t restrain myself…
