To be analytical, I tried to go off of play counts in iTunes, but had to let some personal opinion move things around..but a lot of these songs could easily be switched around in order. My favorite album of the year might have been Titus Andronicus – Local Business, but didn’t feel any single song really topped out this list! Because I can’t contain a list to 10 songs, some more songs that almost made it are just below.
Honorable Mentions
Tomorrow by Future Islands
True Thrush by Dan Deacon
Lazuli by Beach House
The House that Heaven Built by Japandroids
New Ceremony by Dry the River
