Because all my friends are doing it, I'm going to jump off the cliff too and release my favorite songs and albums from this year. However, I'm not going to just put up my favorite albums/songs that were released just this year because then the list would be very short. So, these are the songs that I discovered this year as I continue to become more musically cultured. So, here it goes.
