Songs of the Year - 2012

[nobodyseditwaseasy08]

Thought something was amiss!

 

I think I prefer Howler > Palma Violets > The Vaccines.

 

Although this probably will change in a few days because at the moment I am stanning Howler after interviewing them. Standard pretty much.

 

I added a howler song, forgot that was this year; removed the Radiohead ones, which were #'s 1 and 3 for me. I think I prefer the vocals for the vaccines, the sound and clarity, is why I put them above howler.

[James.]

I haven't really listened to many new music this year :uhoh: Other than The 2nd Law (Muse) the only new songs from this year I have listened to are Blur's two new songs... Maybe I will try to make a list after making an effort to listen to new stuff.

[Prospector]

Just a top 5:

 

1 - Plan B - ill Manors

2 - Mumford & Sons - Hopeless Wanderer

3 - Dry The River - Lion's Den

4 - Tópaz - Se For Pra Tudo Dar Errado

5 - fun. - Some Nights

[Violet]

Also, in the case of Noel Gallagher, does Freaky Teeth count? It's been played live for a while now but is just getting an official release now.

 

If it has only been officially released recently, it counts as a 2012 song. :nice:

 

Just a top 5:

 

1 - Plan B - ill Manors

2 - Mumford & Sons - Hopeless Wanderer

3 - Dry The River - Lion's Den

4 - Tópaz - Se For Pra Tudo Dar Errado

5 - fun. - Some Nights
