In hot pursuit of my Top Albums of 2014 list, here comes my Top Songs of 2014 mix! Instead of the typical 20-ish-song, 80-ish-minute compilation, this year I decided that FIFTY is the magic number. That’s right, you’re in for a treat…3 hours 17 minutes of top-notch, grade-A tracks that were the soundtrack of my year. I didn’t bother splitting hairs to decide the order of the Top 50.

Ok, so you’ve decided that you’re not going to rest on your laurels, sitting on the sidelines watching life pass you by.
