It's tough to decide the top ten songs of the year, mostly because my mood is constantly changing so I may enjoy a particular song more on one day than I would the next. After several rough drafts, I have finally compiled a list that I'm comfortable with. I tried my best to determine this list by focusing only on the songs and leaving my personal opinions of the bands out of consideration. In other words, I ranked the songs, not the artists. I don't get paid to rank songs, so this is just for fun. However, I do get paid to play songs on the radio and these are the ones I enjoyed most this year while on the clock.
