Top 10 Tracks- 2014

One more year, one more list!

Disappointingly, this year wasn't one of the best years for music. Hardly any album or any band was outstanding ( I guess we have finally/really arrived in the era of spotify/singles). Nonetheless, we had some really great music and some amazing collection of magical sounds coming from all over the places and luckily, I managed to go through as many of them as possible to shortlist 10 best songs of 2014.

This year was life changing (well, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but honestly, at least it was genre changing for my music palette). I listened to a lot and I mean a shitload LOT of Hip-Hop this year. From Yeezy to Drizzy to Jay-Z to SHADY to Biggie to K Dot to J Cole. Everyone made my list and I went through a decade of hip-hop music in just less than a year :D

There are two songs placed at 10th, 9th, 8th & 5th spot and I have tried to have just one song per artist for the list. I think I've heard each song on this list at least about 50 times.

I'll give you one secret for free. How to know if it's a good song? Start a song. Do something else while the song is running in the background. Pause it after a while. Somewhere in the middle. If you think you feel better after pausing it, then the song was shit. Instead, if you feel like something good was happening & you feel partially incomplete, then it means the song had that something, something special, that makes it a good song. There you go. You have THE secret :P Ahh,, forget it! Idk why I wrote it, it's silly.

Not wasting anymore of your precious/worthless time, here's the list;)
