After a great 2014 this month has built some real excitement for 2015 and things to come, but it’s always fun to look back on what brought us here – so here we are. I’m more the type for an album than a single, so let’s start with some of my favourite albums of 2014.
- Favourite Albums of 2014
Temples – Sun Structures
Beck – Morning Phase
Royal Blood – Royal Blood
Hozier – Hozier
TV On The Radio – Seeds
DFA1979 would be on there, but as Rich already listed their album I’ve gone with their British twin, Royal Blood – equally badass bass rock. Wide variety of genres here but they were all in my ears their fair share last year, and will be for some time to come.
- Favourite Songs of 2014
Mark Ronson Ft. Bruno Mars – “Uptown Funk”
Jack White – “Would You Fight For My Love” (Album: Lazaretto)
Death From Above 1979 – “The Physical World” (Album: The Physical World)
Phantogram – “Howl at the Moon” (Album: Voices)
Patrick Carney Ft. Ralph Carney – “Bojack’s Theme”
- Honourable Mentions

Magic Sword
Elephant Stone

Alright so this is from 2015… but it’s been a month already. I’m allowed to cheat a bit.
