Tom Vercetti Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Hi folks. Back again with a 3rd mighty countdown of my favorite tunes of the year. As someone who loves to find new music and be the adventurous fellow, I found this year to be quite competent. So expect to find all kinds of stuff here, that's part of the fun and surprise with these kind of lists. Since we have more time this year for Best Of's compared to last year, I feel a bit more secure in expressing my favorite albums. As usual here's a checklist below of what i'm covering: This year was a bit lowkey in terms of EPs but y'all already know the phrase "When life gives you lemons". We love consistency. Each of these songs are from different artists to boot and aren't limited to only singles. Getting the songs are easy, but it's the ranking of them that's the difficult task so be sure to not take any of their placements (especially in the 200-101 range) too seriously. There's a reason why i'm calling them my favorites, and not "best". The last two I did were only 50 but i'm feeling generous this time Those three segments will be the main show. There's a couple of things i'm doing differently compared to last year which is excluding both a "mixtape" countdown since those'll just get segmented into the album part and a top K-Pop song list (I wasn't that into the genre this year and I haven't gotten around in getting caught up just yet).

No. Take “album of the year” as an example and replace “album” with “best of”. Talent will prevail
ManDown Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Yes, Tom! I know your countdown will be great.
