Nialler9’s Best Of 2012: Top 100 songs of the year
It’s hard to think of a more subjective musical list than a best songs list. Some people choose their list based on how much songs have changed the world, others choose songs that made the biggest statements or became a cultural phenomenon. My list of 100 songs didn’t change the world, they changed my world this year in small and immeasurable ways. Enjoy and do check out the Readers’ Poll and my favourite albums, remixes and more of the year.
