With 2008 officially behind us, the editors of Spinner have compiled the 25 best songs of the year. This eclectic list is probably the only place you're gonna find Neil Diamond, Beyonce and Sigur Ros all on the same list. At number 1, the editors selected MGMT's "Electric Feel".
Without question, 2008 will go down in the indie-rock universe as the Year of MGMT. Thanks to this nifty slice of falsetto synth-dance-pop (a veritable hipster 'Emotional Rescue'), the Brooklyn duo worked their way up to indie's upper management, so to speak, ending the year as a marquee live act and future major player. By autumn, 'Electric Feel' had made it onto virtually every mix CD, road-trip playlist and college dorm in America.
