2008 Favorites (was 2008 a phenomenal year for music or was I just paying better attention?)
how you like me now?? or was that from 2009?
Yep, late 2009. Would’ve been a top 10 for sure.
Also, I totally forgot about Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep.” Would have been 6th on this list.
ya i agree with that..great tune.
Great list. I would have added some Dessa or Cloud Cult also.
Dessa- “Dixons Girl” is a pretty sweet tune, liking it more each day.
