Friday Playlist - 1/16 - 2014 Best of the Rest

In lieu of the typical Friday playlist, I've decided to put up a set of songs (in no order of relevance) that collectively comprise another year end best list of sorts. These are some favorite songs off of albums that were in contention and fell just outside of the 'best of' lists. There are 50 of them and that's pared down. So it's a long playlist, but it was a good year for music, and it's a long weekend.

Will be back to the customary playlists next week I suspect.
