This Kendall’s Favorite Songs of 2008 thing is starting to get old if I can say so myself (I can). Today we have my favorite “Indie Rock” songs of 2008. Basically I classified any group that uses a guitar as “Indie Rock”. That’s the way they taught us to label things at The School for Unimaginative People Who Can’t Think of Descriptive Words Good.
