I don't recall seeing a best songs thread, so here's my finally completed 2008 mix.
I may be crossing over to the music obsessive zone because it took me at least as long to order the tracks as it did to select them. But I've been distributing the annual mix to some friends for the past couple of years and I think I owe it to them to provide a smooth listening experience and not just a haphazard collection of songs, however individually good they may be. I think the boardies will understand that sentiment.

2. Move – Q-Tip
3. Dead Sound – The Raveonettes
4. Lights Out – Santogold

7. Keep Your Eyes Ahead – The Helio Sequence
