Best songs of 2008 - The Times (UK)

19 DID YOU MISS ME — Lindsey Buckingham
Presumably he can’t still be singing about Stevie after all these years? Whoever this is about, it’s a classic Buckingham double-sider: it glides along on a sea of pop perfection and only later begins to seem the work of a tormented obsessive.

Also Dido's Grafton Street with Mick guesting is at 2

2 GRAFTON STREET — Dido
No more coffee-table music for Dido. Her album Safe Trip Home was a giant step forward, and Grafton Street — a song about the death of her father — was its sad but beautiful core. Empathetic keyboards by Brian Eno and an unlikely recorder solo frame the acceptance of loss: “Nothing’s left that’s safe here now, / Nothing will bring you home, / Nothing can bring us the peace / We had in Grafton Street.”


Also Lindsey makes number 20 of 20 is the best Rock and Pop albums - The Times (UK)

20 Lindsey Buckingham: Gift of Screws (Reprise)
If this were by Fleetwood Mac, people would have gone: “A classic Mac mix of soft rock and experimental excursions.” As it was by the man chiefly responsible for that mix, not the band, it was largely ignored. Mad, mad world.

Amen and big, fat word to that.

This is great, with the Times being so big.

Wish Rolling Stone would say something. They gave UTS a nod.
