My Top 49 Songs of 2008

So I know we're one month into 2009 already, but I wanted to wait until I held my annual End of the Year Power Hour Countdown before posting this. Why 49? Well I didn't want to repeat any artist twice and I'm not including any mash-ups, and I could only come up with 49. I'm sure I'm missing one that should make this list so let me know and we'll make Adrian Monk happy with a nice, round 50.

Most songs are through imeem and you may have to sign up to listen (it's free, don't worry). The others I either found on YouTube or just linked to the album on Amazon so you could hear the sample. So here they are:

49. The Dirt Whispered - Rise Against

48. Gettin Up - Q-Tip
