This was much more difficult than I remember it being last year. I suppose since I had to narrow down the list from the 200+ songs on my 2012 Spotify playlist and once I whittled that list down to 50 songs it became increasingly hard to pick just 30 of them. As you'll see shortly, there is a big difference between the bands who released the best songs of the year and the best albums of the year. Same rules apply that I only picked one song per band/album.
30) The Big Sleep - Ace
29) Oberhofer - oOoO
28) Daughter - Youth
27) The Life And Times - Day Nine
26) Father John Misty - Only Son of the Ladiesman
25) New Build - Medication
24) Haim - Go Slow
23) Trailer Trash Tracys - You Wish You Were Red
22) Yeasayer - Henrietta
21) Anais Mitchell - Coming Down
20) Grimes - Oblivion
19) The Samuel Jackson Five - Ten Crept In
18) Orbital - New France (feat Zola Jesus)
17) Passion Pit - I'll Be Alright
16) Yellow Ostrich - The Shakedown
15) LP - Into The Wild
14) Perfume Genius - Hood
13) Sea Wolf - Priscilla
12) Torche - Kicking
11) Grizzly Bear - Yet Again
10) Japandroids - The House That Heaven Built
9) Schoolboy Q - There He Go
8) Twin Shadow - Five Seconds
7) Daniel Rossen - Saint Nothing
6) The XX - Chained
5) Tanlines - Not The Same
4) Alabama Shakes - Hold On
