According to Spotify, my top song of the year is “Your Drums, Your Love” by Alunageorge.. Pretty damn good song.

But i’m gonna give you the non-spotify list here. These are 10 songs that popped into my head a day ago and i think that’s the best indicator of what a Top 10 should be. These are the ones that i think about on the regular. Enjoy y'all!

(I also just added these 10 songs in order to the RockGenius picks spotify playlist, so click the link and go check em out whenever!)

Ok…full disclosure. I originally had “Fireside” by Arctic Monkeys on here, because it so vividly describes the end of a recent relationship that i got out of and i’m trying not to think about it anymore so BACK OFF!

:-)

Instead…Glasser’s “Landscape” is divine. From the moment the beat drops and Cameron Mesirow’s voice throttles up and down on the track, it’s bliss. Enjoy it.

This is the most important track of the year. Music fans owe it to themselves to go read the annotations on Rock Genius, including my favorite annotation on the entire site, which delves into why Daft Punk do what they do. Go read about who Giorgio Moroder is and what he means to Daft Punk and Random Access Memories.

This track changed my perspective on electronic music and opened my mind to how next level the Daft Punk record was. #1 Album of the Year for me. Bar none.

This songs means a lot to me because it’s one of the first one’s that i worked on for Rock Genius. I remember asking the homie hwizzo29820 to assist with the biblical references and we seriously hashed out the meaning of this song for like 2 hours before a light bulb went off and we KNOW we nailed it. We kinda decided to keep the annotations tame because some of the personal issues we feel it addresses for the band are kinda heavy and we hope to verify them someday soon. If you wanna wax about the deeper details of this song, def hit me up. One love.

This beat tho! I love King Krule…One of the most original artists out there and an unforgettable deep voice. The simple guitar riff with the spacey effects and re-verb create such an awesome atmosphere. This guy’s the man and in 2 years will surely be one of the biggest acts in England…EVen though he looks like a cross between Rick Astley and the pimple-faced kid from The Simpsons:

This is everything i want in a straight up rock song. These guys are just pure fucking rock musicians. Twangy guitars, sick bass, uniquely layered instrumentation and the cymbals…oh the cymbals! This track is such a throwback and is flat-out good American rock and roll.

Total match made in heaven for me. I’m enamored with the idea of “the future of music” and this represents the kind of shit i want to see. Hip-hop collaborating with indie rock and electronic. Shouts to Chance and JB for crumbling the wall that is just BEGGING to be broken down. I wouldn’t hate it if there were more tracks like this in 2014.
