Now that 2015 is here, I think I can officially look back at
all things 2014. And as a music fan, the year’s music seems like a good place
to start. I’ve always wanted to write about each year’s music, and now that I
have Out of Left Field, there’s a natural place to write my thoughts down.
Let’s start with a more contained list before I move on to
the year at large: Billboard’s
Top 100 songs of the year. I listened to every song on the list at least
once to get a feel for what I liked and what I didn't, and I have to say, it was easier for me to narrow down to the songs on
the list that I didn’t like. I mean, it makes sense; these songs got popular
for a reason. Even if I didn’t think the best songs of the year made the list,
there was still plenty of good stuff out there.
However, there was still plenty of lackluster,
disappointing, or just not good stuff there, so we may as well get the negative
out of the way. Let’s start discussing the songs on the top 100 that I think
were bad before I name my worst of the year. I’ll be going in order, starting
at the bottom. Also included a links for reference.
