120 for 2008

After reviewing my various lists (you know, those half-made lists mostly circling around in my head) I came up with my favorite songs of 2008. I had originally only had 108 when I first posted but forgot a few good ones, so this is the revised list (as of 1/18/09). It was a good year for music in my opinion; this is reinforced by the fact that I can't seem to stick with just 108. (And I meant it when I said every song on "Furr" is good. I think I included 12 songs here including some EP stuff of theirs.)
