"Is it rolling, Bob?": aka the 2008 P&J/Idolator trolling thread

ive got pretty much just rap records and that the-dream album. i think. maybe the luomo too.

singles are the easiest for me bcuz i have no reservations about those

i always love more than 10 songs in a single year and i hope it stays that way

i like a lot of songs, but not many of them were singles.

really?

yeah i just tried to dash off a quick, off the top of my head, only the definite best will do list, excluding duplicates and anyone with an album i want to vote for, also excluding 08 singles off 07 albums...and still got to 30. no idea how i'm going to narrow it down but i intend an all-funky house top 5.

PM me it.

all i can think of is shit like "Yahhh"

i can post my tentative singles list, but should i do it here or should that kind of thing be kept to a totally different thread?

if it's tentative, we should have a thread on borad or something to discuss until we all make up out minds.

there's a top 10 singles of 08 thread already

So we're halfway through 2008; what are your top 10 SONGS of this year, so far?

fuck 10 songz, i'm talking 100 singlez

eh maybe i'll post it there anyway, i just feel like i'd be fucking up the flow

haha i don't think anyone is going to mind

if there is no idolator poll then i dont get to vote yay no having to choose woo hoo u.s.a.

alright, done

(xpost lol)

oh i'll post mine there too then

i've never seen quote marks quite like those before. they're not the usual weird euro ones are they?

44. (43 ) 67,65 Toumani Diabaté ´The Mandé Variations´

I got to get this one, although I like him with a band better than solo as on this disc.
