Rock/Alternative of 2008

Because I can't just pick my top 10 songs of the year, I have to split up my favorite songs by genres.



1. Paramore has proven to be much more than a one-hit-wonder. Their young lead singer has an amazingly powerful voice. This track from the 'Twilight' movie shows the group's maturity, and I expect big things on their next album.

2. Reluctant to hear new Offspring, and hoping that they've strayed away from "Pretty Fly for a White Guy", the punk-rock veterans are back to the sound that made them legendary in the 90s.

3. Shiny Toy Guns are a pretty unique band. It's rare to hear guy/girl lead singers, they mix up electro-rock and should be more popular than they are.

4. In the blurry world of pop-punk, this track from We the Kings stood out this year, with lyrics and those claps.

5. The Killers never dissapoint and even though I haven't listened to their latest album, Day and Age, it was their SNL performance of this song that is making me hope I get their album for X-Mas.
