Earlier on, i posted on my top 10 picks for OPM songs. Now I’m posting my top 10 foreign track picks for 2008. Same rules apply. Here we go

10. The Ting Tings – That’s not my name
- Catchy tune, 2 man band yet they managed to get the attention of the listeners around the world (and so am i) Give it a spin and hear it… That’s not my name… that’s not my name…..

9. David Cook – Searchlights
- Way before he won and became famous because of American Idol, He released an independently album entitled “Analog Heart” I’m still getting used to the new album but nevertheless, i picked a track on his independent release. Hear his husky voice reaching those high notes. Wow!

8. Broken Social Scene – 7/4 (Shoreline)
- I recently stumbled upon this band and the moment i heard them, i said hey! nice arrangement of melodies and music. Also reminds me of Ang Bandang Shirley (Which fell on the number 2 spot on my top 10 opm list)

7. Jason Mraz – I’m Yours
- Laid back music from the geek in the pink. Best played while lying down on the beach and taking a rest, feeling the cozy breeze of the air, the refreshing sound of the waves while you spend it with your loved one. awww….

6. Kings of Leon – Use Somebody
- For those looking for some slow rock music with a touch of grunge, This track is what you are looking for. A powerful and very manly voice i may say. hehehe!

5. Flobots – Handlebars
- Even though this album has been out for quite sometime, this is what rap-rock should be (ahem *linkin park what happened” ahem!) hehehe!

4. Maximum the Hormone – Zetsubo Billy
- Since this is a foreign track list, im including at least 2 J-rock songs. First up would be this track taken from the 2nd closing of the hit anime series “Death Note” If you are looking for some heart-pounding, hard-rocking, head-banging japanese track, look no further. System of a down, Japanese rock style!

3. Asian Kung-Fu Generation – Korogaru iwa, Kimi ni Asaga Furu
- My 2nd Japanese rock band pick. I’m a fan of their music and creativity. Definitely one band noteworthy to hear. This track was taken from their third album “World World World”

2. Angels and Airwaves – Secret Crowds
- I was thinkng of placing “Sirens” or “Valkyrie Missile” but in the end, i opted to choose this track. Nice lyrics got me into it. If i have my own world, i’d build you an empire… Great lyrics that only Tom Delonge can deliver.

1. Bloc Party – This Modern Love
- This is an old song, yet it still managed to be my number one song for 2008. It could be other tracks from bloc party but this one has got to be their best fast-paced love song ever made. Listen to the harmonious guitar riffs, groovy drum hits and mellow vocals that only Kele can deliver. I miss the old Bloc Party

There you go, my top 10 foreign tracks for 2008. I have also made a mixtape for this one entitled “2008: Mixing it up!” Same rules as below so come and get it.
