  • ferndave, on 12/07/2008, -12/+121Either Last.fm listeners have crappy taste or I'm really old.
  • cromulent742, on 12/07/2008, -36/+127Goddamn I hate Coldplay.
  • bonk2k, on 12/07/2008, -1/+76Just be thankful the list isn't populated with Britney Spears, 50 cent, and other top 40 crap (with the exception of Coldplay and Katy Perry that are on the top 40)

  • Durinthal, on 12/07/2008, -6/+27The people that listen to it are generally empty too.
  • danconia, on 12/07/2008, -1/+22Crawlin' on yo kneeeees for it!
  • nickspohn, on 12/07/2008, -3/+24Why not link directly to the list:

  • jordantneff, on 12/07/2008, -2/+20Once again I'm completely out of the music loop. I have no idea who any of these artists on the top 10 are.
  • TheNik, on 12/07/2008, -1/+18It's funny that the music that is purchased the most isn't the music that is listened to the most... Hopefully last.fm will overtake Billboard lists in determining music popularity. :O
  • inactive, on 12/08/2008, -4/+21haha..buy

    I like your humour
  • dalittle, on 12/07/2008, -1/+18Larz, quit posting on the internet.
  • dagger969, on 12/07/2008, -1/+17What a horrible list. Should have been titled "best MGMT / Coldplay songs of 2008"
  • McBradd, on 12/07/2008, -1/+15If you aren't a Coldplay fan, the top tracks list is irrelevant...
  • m0zzie, on 12/07/2008, -1/+15Dude.. wow..
  • inactive, on 12/07/2008, -2/+1520!? Go back to tending your lawn, grampa.
  • theblueprint, on 12/07/2008, -1/+14Because last.fm doesn't include a time machine?
  • polarbeargarden, on 12/07/2008, -0/+13I wish for top tracks they would have only allowed one track per artist so this didn't happen, or had ten tracks from ten artists in addition to the actual top ten.
  • theskillwithin, on 12/07/2008, -7/+20why is pop music always the most "popular" when its empty.
  • illusionweaver, on 12/07/2008, -5/+17The Portishead, Hot Chip and Nine Inch Nails albums were good, everything else on that list was pretty terrible. MGMT may be good, I'll have to pirate some of their stuff to form a better opinion.
  • hungryduck, on 12/07/2008, -0/+12You're
  • , on 12/07/2008, -3/+13*****' Hippies.
