Best songs of 2008

Auto-tune quit being a repair and turned into a way of sounding sad. Hip-hop's biggest star made a cold synthetic breakup album and most of the genre followed him into it within two years, including several people who had mocked it at the time.

One great song, one bad album

Tracks carry their own ratings here, so a record you would never play front to back can still have a song worth defending.
