2012: Greg's Favorite Songs of the Year

The end of the year: a time for family, friends, holidays, drinking, and end-of-the-year lists. Sadly, making and reading end-of-the-year lists is the thing I look most forward to.... Wait! Who am I kidding? I love getting hammered and arguing with my family. Seriously though, I love this time of the year because it represents a time of discovery. As much as I love arguing with my fellow music nerds about songs/albums of the year, what is more important is that we all can read these lists and marvel at how amazing this year was for music. I am kicking FILWAD's end-of-the-year lists off with my favorite songs.

Enjoy,

Greg
