Another year has already passed. 2012 is on our doorstep and with it comes another election year full of negative ads and who knows what else… I’m exercising my vote to elect the following 50 songs as the best available over the last 12 months.

In no particular order? Where’s the fun in that? I’m just going to assume that Bon Iver is your #1, in which case, I think you are wrong as hell.
Yeah, you gotta rank ‘em. Good list tho. Thank you for compiling it.
