Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got plenty of resolutions. 2013 is going to be kind of a big deal for me. But, the thing is.. Music is my favorite. So today’s post is dedicated to the joy 2012’s music brought me. **Be warned: I am bound to forget some amazing songs from the past year (I can barely keep track of what concerts I’ve been to this year, so please contribute your favorites in the comments! Also, this list is based on the whole album being awesome. For the most part I’m arbitrarily picking a single song I enjoy from the album even though the whole thing is great.)
12. Taylor Swift
11. The Killers
10. Motion City Soundtrack
9. Mumford & Sons
8. Jack White
7. Ellie Goulding
6. Imagine Dragons
5. Passion Pit
4. No Doubt
2. The Lumineers
1. Fun. Some Nights
Seriously. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Some Nights is my favorite album of 2012, hands down.
There are many, many other great songs that came out this year, but in order to avoid writing a novel, I decided to stick with my top 12: one for each month. I just know I’m forgetting a huge one or five, but for now I will continue to enjoy the fruit of these artists’ musical loins. Here’s to hoping these guys, as well as lots of great new artists, dazzle us just as much in 2013.
Be safe tonight, my friends. Cheers to the new year!
Oh man, so many good choices. I think we are music twins!!! <3
Love these picks!
