Hello, my favorite listeners! I wrote 47 columns this year and these were the 25 most talked about tracks in the emails and comments I received from all of you. It makes an interesting list as some of the music is NOT FROM 2014 — but was included in this year's columns. This is where we differ from others. I could feature just music from each year but it wouldn't be as much fun or as listenable, so I act accordingly ... and I don't even play an accordion!
So flip this list on and I promise you'll hear some great tracks even if you missed them the first time. That's why we do this every year. I promise to uphold all my traditions in 2015 as well. See you next week when it's up to me to prove that once again! Happy New Year!
