I was thinking that I should stop at 25 as far as top songs go, otherwise I would have three or four songs from each of my favorite albums of the year, and that would kind of get pointless. But then I realized when compiling the list that all of that happened within the top 25 anyway, so I expanded to 40, and here we go. Unlike last year, for those who remember, I will give a short explanation for each track. I won’t compare, because that would be ridiculous, but I hope that my synopses are appropriately glowing for each place in the list. In it are The Walkmen, Born Ruffians, TV On The Radio, Beach House, Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, the Dodos and much more, but this post is huge – you’ll have to hit the jump for it all. Plus, you wouldn’t want to ruin the surprise immediately, would you?
