The Sunday Times: Top 20 of 2008

O The Sunday Times elegeu os 20 melhores álbuns e as 20 melhores músicas de 2008, segundo seu cast de críticos. Confira todos os detalhes no site do The Sunday Times (álbuns e músicas).

The best albums of 2008:

1. Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes ♫
Usually, when an album’s reviews has references to the Beach Boys or CSN&Y, it simply means that more than one person in the band sings at the same time. But in the case of this uplifting, timeless yet fresh debut, comparisons with the peak of West Coast pop are entirely justified.
MP3: Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal

2. Cut/Copy - In Ghost Colours (Modular) ♫
3. Paul Weller - 22 Dreams (Island) ♫
4. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! (Mute) ♫

6. Aidan John Moffat - I Can Hear Your Heart (Chemikal Underground) ♫

18. Roots Manuva - Slime & Reason (Big Dada)
19. Peter Broderick - Home (Bella Union)
20. Lindsey Buckingham - Gift of Screws (Reprise)


The best songs of 2008:

1. MGMT — Time To Pretend
The year’s most memorable synthesizer line, lashings of brass, cymbals and drums, a giant psych-pop of a tune, a lyric that seemed both to satirise and aspire to the rock-star lifestyle, and a wonderfully shambolic payoff (“I said, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah!’ ”): the American duo reminded us just how classic but cussedly individual singles should be made.

2. Dido — Grafton Street
3. Elbow — Weather To Fly
4. Al Green — All I Need
5. Cut Copy — Unforgettable Season
6. Beyoncé — Single ladies (Put A Ring On It)
7. Estelle feat. Kanye West — American Boy
8. Black Francis — When They Come To Murder Me
9. Nada Surf — See These Bones
10. Tony Christie — Louise
11. British Sea Power — Waving Flags

The Observer's Top 20 Tracks of 2008

Na lista das melhores músicas de 2008 do The Observer, o duo novaiorquino MGMT ficou no topo com "Time to Pretend". Confira mais detalhes no site do The Observer.

1: MGMT - Time to Pretend
'This is our decision, to live fast and die young/We've got the vision, now let's have some fun,' sang Andrew VanWyngarden with dreamy insouciance on this satire on - or paean to? - rock's most shameful excesses.
When he wrote the track with Ben Goldwasser in 2004, both were two wide-eyed Wesleyan college kids in Connecticut. As it turns out, 'Time to Pretend' (originally titled 'The Mantis Sailing Home') proved less the in-joke and more a prophetic heralding of their future. Genre-blending psych-pop, the track became a freakbeat theme for the Skins generation. Then Radiohead and Oasis and rock fans everywhere discovered the tune, too.
Speaking to OMM, VanWyngarden says: 'It's been like a cheesy fake rock star movie when we go on stage every night singing this song. It's been amazing.' [Sarah Boden]

2: Wiley - Wearing my Rolex
Bona fide hit from reclusive grime don shocker: Wiley added bling to a sample of DSK's garage classic 'What Would We Do' and bingo!

3: Duffy - Warwick Avenue
'Mercy' might have been the wedding disco favourite but this was her most perfectly realised retro-soul fantasy.

4: Hot Chip - Ready for the Floor
They demanded to 'do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now'. Repetition, apparently, was the key to great electro-pop.

5: The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name
Their best tune was their most personal, singer Katie White raising a middle finger to all the sexists who had put her down.

6: Dizzee Rascal - Dance Wiv Me
He was always a great pop star, and now, thanks to Calvin Harris's bouncy backing track, he has the No 1 to prove it.

7: Hercules and Love Affair - Blind
It was good to hear Antony Hegarty happy for a change as he added considerable vocal firepower to this disco anthem.

8: Estelle - American Boy
Palling up with John Legend turned her into a transatlantic star; flirting with an entire nation's menfolk helped.

9: Katy Perry - I Kissed a Girl
These are difficult times for the music biz but one thing is certain – if you want a hit, pretend to be a lesbian.

10: Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire
The lyrics ('The head while I'm driving') confirmed it as the only stadium rocker about receiving oral sex in traffic.

11: Noah & the Whale - 5 Years' Time
Powered by fiddles and whistling, and the surprise indie crossover hit
of the year.

12: Elbow - One Day Like This
It started life as the theme to Euro 2008, then seeped into the national consciousness from there.

13: DJ Mujava - Township Funk
Potent afro-rave hybrid from South Africa's Elvis Maswanganyi – massive in the clubs, don't you know.

14: Oasis - I'm Outta Time
Turns out the best tune on Dig Out Your Soul was Liam's stately, John Lennon-sampling ode to keeping your chin up.

15: Santogold - L.E.S. Artistes
Strutting new wave from Mark Ronson protégée who otherwise never quite transcended her hipster origins.

16: Beyoncé - Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)
Aka the one with the stunning black and white, leotard-flaunting video, and another irresistible tirade against feckless menfolk.

17: Portishead - Machine Gun
What chances of this new Portishead record soundtracking a remake of This Life? Zero. The drum sound was enough to give adults nightmares.

18: The Verve - Love is Noise
The fiery highlight of their Glastonbury slot had the oddest opening line of the
year: 'And did those feet in modern times/Walk on soles that were made in China?'. Eh?

19: MIA - Paper Planes
Belatedly big everywhere in 2008 – thanks partly to its place on the trailer to stoner flick Pineapple Express.

20: Alesha Dixon - The Boy Does Nothing
Curiously, winning last year's Strictly Come Dancing made Alesha an even better pop star second time around.

NME's Top 50 Songs of 2008 [RE:POST]

E a revista NME em sua lista das 50 melhores músicas de 2008, elegeu o duo americano MGMT, além de melhor álbum do ano, também como principal artesão das melhores faixas, são três canções entre as dez melhores, inclusive com Kids no topo da lista. Veja mais detalhes no site da NME.

1. MGMT – Kids
The top spot: not bad for their first ever song written while the two were just "messing about".

2. Glasvegas – Geraldine
'Daddy's Gone' got to Number Two last year, now it's 'Geraldine''s turn. For anyone who considers a night out down the Feeling Gloomy club fun.

3. Mystery Jets – Two Doors Down
This tale of finding love over old Television records reached their highest chart placing yet - 24!!!

4. MGMT – Time To Pretend
Second entry for the Brooklyn wizard heartthrobs, this quickly became the set text for a platoon of copycats.

5. MGMT – Electric Feel
When I interviewed them at CMJ 2007 (and Ben made me wait twenty minutes while he did a Number Two) none of us realised the full extent of what laid ahead.

6. Metronomy – Heartbreaker
The creaky door synth weeping on this track pretty much epitomised Joe Mount's brilliant USP: the robotisation of emotion.

7. Friendly Fires – Paris
Initially released this time last year but still going strong at the grand old age of 12 months.

8. M.I.A. – Paper Planes
Gun shots, Clash samples and the jingle of a cash machine - what more did you need?

9. Kings Of Leon – Sex On Fire
The crowning moment of the Kings' fourth album. Not least for the fact it knocked that spine-curdling Katy Perry drivel off the top spot.

10. Vampire Weekend – A-Punk
The crowning moment of the Kings' fourth album. Not least for the fact it knocked that spine-curdling Katy Perry drivel off the top spot.
