I found it difficult to select just 10 songs I love from 2014. So, I didn’t and instead I’ve compiled a list of 20 fantastic tracks of the past year. And I could add more. The songs are listed below, alphabetically by title.
For previous year-end lists of previous years check out my lists for 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009.
I’ve featured many of this songs in my Song of the Week posts this year. If you see a link from a song title it will take you back to the Song of the Week post for that song.
