Now it has finally happened, a list-of-the-year here on Meadowmusic, with the 60 best songs from this past year. My source is entirely the music I have presented here on the blog; my obvious reference from 2013 in which I live and breathe almost every day during the year. I do love albums also, but I realised it would be an impossible task for me, to be able to construct a serious list for this in time. Maybe I will prepare myself in a better way next year.

It’s really the first time since the start in 2008 that I make a year list such as this, and I hope that it will help somebody to find new favourites that you have missed. That’s how I think when I go through year lists; I usually tire after a while, as too many lists from newspapers and others are so similar. I’m pretty certain that this list is quite unique, though.
I want to make the reservation that the list is somewhat biased at the catchy side of pop and rock, which means that instrumental, experimental and other types of music doesn’t get the place it deserves here, nonetheless enjoyable. But that’s how it is, right now, you’ll probably survive.

The songs can be enjoyed here below, without any specific order, or you can pick up the Spotify playlist (four songs are missing) here:
