Bloggy's 50 Favorite Songs of 2012

Alright, this is my final music-related list of 2012. I'll be posting at least one from Mr. S. as well but the official Bloggy music lists for 2012 will be concluded with this one. As I mentioned before, I've decided this year that none of my lists will have any sort of overlap. That makes this, my songs list, simultaneously the most indie and the most mainstream. This shall serve as my favorite EPs and singles as well and will also represent songs from albums I really enjoyed but just missed the cut of 50 favorites. With my previous lists, you were able to click pictures and jump to the full albums but since this one is more song-oriented I've just made one all-encompassing, 3 hour long Spotify playlist. I know some of these choices will be controversial and many will be unfamiliar but I think I have a fairly good balance. I had to include some inescapable radio-pop hits but I have placed them lower on the list since they are less important for you to hear than the more indie stuff. I hope you enjoy them, either way feel free to let me know via social media.
