Best songs of 2008 part one

[ize_]

It's over a quarter into the year, what are the best songs of 2008 so far? I'll do one of these every 3 months so it will be easier to work out a more even list at the end of the year.

I nominate Make It Wit Chu by Queens of the Stone Age and Sleep Through the Static by Jack Johnson, or anything off that album. That guy really knows how to write a good song.

 

[walkers a legend]

Gyroscope - snake skin

The Ag of Understatement- The Last Shadow Puppets.

Snakeskin was released as a single last year so it shouldn't count. (I agree its a good song).
