Will's Favorite Songs of 2008 (50-11)

Compiling a favorite songs list is damn hard. I try and limit it to one per artist to make it a little easier on myself (otherwise the top ten would almost always be from the same Kanye West album). I tried to be thorough, but I am still sure that there is something I missed. Still, here are numbers 50 through 11, and tomorrow I will post the top ten with detailed explanations.
