It has been a phenomenal year for new music so far and I thought I would take a moment and reflect on the best songs we’ve been given so far. This was a hard list to narrow down. I did rank them in order of greatness, but I spent a lot more time on narrowing it down to the best 25 new songs than I did on the specific order in the list. In order to include more deserving artists on the list, I chose to only include one song per album. Also songs such as “Little Talks” by Of Monsters and Men or “Video Games” by Lana Del Rey were disqualified, since they first appeared on EPs in 2011. Without any further ado, here is my list of the best songs of 2012 (so far). We hope you enjoy it and discover new great music.
25. Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros
24. Sarah Jaffe
23. The Beach Boys
Stream the song on Rolling Stone.
22. Walk the Moon
21. Sleigh Bells
20. Allo, Darlin’
19. Beach House
18.Japandroids
17. Chairlift
16. Sharon Van Etten
15. Carly Rae Jepsen
14.Usher
13. WZRD
Hope you are enjoying the music. The rest of the list will be coming in installment number 2 tomorrow, so come back and see us.
Finally, a ‘best of 2012′ list that I actually like! Well done.
