yeah, If I were a Boy is a pretty pretty song, but it's also INCREDIBLY STUPID.
At least she got the grammar right in the title.
"The Best Albums of 2008"
All these choices are horrible. Yuck.
My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges
God we can only hope that Indie day is coming soon
If the songs I'm hearing on your show constitute "the best of 2008", then what a terrible year in pop music! Popular sales never had anything to do with quality music.
I remember 1992 when Los Lobos' "Kiko", Aimee Mann's "Whatever", Matthew Sweet's "Girlfriend", and XTC's "Nonesuch" were all released - and all were brilliant.
