Best Songs of 2008: No. 1

'Electric Feel,' MGMT

Without question, 2008 will go down in the indie-rock universe as the Year of MGMT. Thanks to this nifty slice of falsetto synth-dance-pop (a veritable hipster 'Emotional Rescue'), the Brooklyn duo worked their way up to indie's upper management, so to speak, ending the year as a marquee live act and future major player. By autumn, 'Electric Feel' had made it onto virtually every mix CD, road-trip playlist and college dorm in America.

all the people that have dissed this lineup need to get out there and listen to what IS out there, because you obviously only listen to the kiddy pop music that everyone listens to. become someone different. try something different, dont just follow everyone else. and come on Jyme Tyme, lil wayne? hes a drug-infested pimp that cant even play real music. he has no talent except stringing together curse words and cannot even play REAL music, like a guitar or the drums. and playing a few notes on saturday night live does NOT count. so get a life. and using symbols to make words is like, SO elementary school. im guessing you are like, what, 10 years old?
