Top Ad Music for 2008?

[jca]

Is it time for the annual Adtunes "Top Ad Music of 2008" year-end listing.

As we do every year, we invite and welcome posts and suggestions of your favorite (and least favorite) music from TV commercials, soundtracks, and trailers from the past year.

Any trends, commercials, and songs that seemed to be everywhere? Favorite music that you discovered courtesy of an ad?

Feel free to share any and all memorable advertising music from the year.

biggest thing i've noticed is the lack of cool music in car ads. that used to be so popular, and the direct reason for this site beginning. blame it on our economy i guess... but it's sad to see that very popular trend go by the wayside...

Seems like Cat Power's "Space Oddity" commercial was buzz-worthy...

and that "Stock Up On Joy" song from the Coke-Walmart Christmas ad...

and if movie trailers count, the music for the "Star Trek" trailer...

Yes, but how do I write the post about that Star Trek trailer music? I'm still confused with the conflicting info about that trailer music cue.

Conflict always makes for good drama in writing.

iPod Nanochromatic ad, Bruises by Chairlift

and Schweppes Indian Tonic Water ad, To Build a Home by Cinematic Orchestra.

Believe Santogold might be in the running for the Overexposed award and/or the top ad music of the year.
