2008 Top Ten: #2 -- Fleet Foxes "White Winter Hymnal" 

#2: Fleet Foxes -- White Winter Hymnal

Fleet Foxes are blowing up. This song is why. There's just no one else doing stuff like this today. It's simultaneously modern while calling back to 60s pop and folk.

The entire self-titled album is a phenomenal throwback. Fleet Foxes' sound is so unique, yet so familiar that it's no doubt that they're rapidly growing in popularity.

Also, it's a damn beautiful song.
