no radiohead? i’m not happy about that
but at least they were on a couple other lists but “in rainbows” is arguably the greatest album they have ever made!!! i put it up there with “ok computer” but i love all their music.

Viva La Vida should have been #1, plus I cannot listen to You’re Gonna Go Far Kid for my entire life KROQ completely burned it out

i totally agree with the list of 2008
and im happy that kroq even plays genres which are not obviously rock like mia
the choice of OFFSPRING at #1 was a surprise
but they deserve this position as they had their most successful song ever in the usa and their first gold certificiation of a single
