Nice to see **** Buttons on the list.
Don't care for that Fleet Foxs record at all, terribly dull.

Woah, I don't even know who half the people on that list are. I used to listen to the radio all the time when I was driving to and from work, but now that I no longer have a long commute (I work in my basement, lol) I really don't keep up with the newer music except for occasionally listening to web daio stations. Guess I'm not really missing anything though, seeing as how everyone is saying the list sucks.

Obviously, the Mojo selection alone isn't representative of this year's music. Have Rolling Stone and Pitchfork issued their yearly lists yet?

Fleet foxes are nice n'all but they are not the best of 2008. It's incredible how hyped they are. But actually the drummer of FF, J. Tillman, has released this year's greatest album, Vacilando Territory Blues. Nothing else to say.
