Our List of Lists, 2008: Music Edition

Weird band names, egos the size of Jupiter, album covers that make you go "hmm," and other roundups of music that made its mark in 2008

  1. CMJ 2008 Weird Band Name List - Includes names like "Tiger! Sh**! Tiger! Tiger!" That'll look great on a CD label, right?
  2. 10 Biggest Egomaniacs in Music - Admittedly, Kanye West landed on this list before he caused the world's jaw to drop with his non-filtered performance on SNL. (Not technically of the year, but we'll let that slide.)
  3. 20 Worst Album Covers of 2008 - Did My Morning Jacket or Brad Paisley actually see the artwork before it went to press?
  4. Best Songs Used in Commercials - It's like Target crawls inside our heads and plants a chip so that every time we see a new commercial, not only do we need to know who's playing that song, we also desperately want a new bedside lamp and Mossimo stovepipe jeans.
  5. Guilty Pleasures - We can't wait until the Jonas Brothers hit puberty!
