Best Songs of 2012! (Honourable Mentions)




Lists, lists, lists.

2012 has provided such a plethora of musical goodwill that it was difficult not to indulge in a spot of self-indulgence.  Akin to dipping toffee in a vat of smouldering toffee, if you will.

Having signed my direct debit away with the adoption of Spotify in the last 12 months, I now have a crawling, gurgling toddler in my midst spurting new tunes and discoveries every day. 

With that being said, it makes any potential list that much more difficult to put together.  But the aim here isn't to be definitive, rather to stimulate. Stimulate conversation, debate, wrath. Whatever your frequency, Kenneth.

The point is your songs are better than mine, but unfortunately this is my list. So here goes, list no.1. Songs of 2012;

Most honourable mentions

Gorillaz - Do Ya Thing. Fiona Apple - Werewolf, R Kelly - Share My Love (POPULATE!), Cassie - King of Hearts (Richard X Remix), El-P - The Full Retard, Kendrick Lamar - Swimming Pools (Drank), Grimes - Genesis, Beach House - New Year, Animal Collective - Anamita, Grizzly Bear - Sun In Your Eyes




Honourable mentions could go on forever but i'll stick to 10.  The real, deal top 20 coming up...
