I’ve never been one to back down from a challenge...er, even when I challenge myself. I decided that I would see if I could make a list of the 20 best songs I have heard (so far) this year. Yes, you read that right. Songs. Not albums. I did contemplate reducing this to 10, but that wasn’t going to happen. I had a feeling this was going to a tough one...and as I suspected, there was some serious internal dialogue and maybe even a little arguing with myself (not out loud...I’m not that mad).
I think trying to rank them in any kind of quality order would have been a torment too far, so I have listed them in alphabetical order by band name...
Just one more thing – these are all songs released this year, not just old songs I have heard. Just in case there was any chance of confusion.
