Best of 2014: Songs

The number of songs this year to make the chopping block on this list was down considerably from last year and that being said this year seemed to be a better year for songs than albums (read into that what you will). As always, I have linked the Spotify playlist of my favorite songs from 2014. Same rules apply that the songs had to come from an album released in 2014 (hence no "i" by Kendrick Lamar or "To The Top" by Twin Shadow) and I only pick one song per band/album otherwise there'd by a dozen songs from Future Islands and Tennis on the list.
