Here are my top 15 songs of the year. Although these are numbered 1-15 to represent which was my most favorite (1), the whole thing works (pretty) well as a mix in the same order.

Where an official MP3 is available, I'll provide a link (MP3) that you can right-click/save. Otherwise I'll provide the last MP3 blog I saw it posted at. And since the internet is allowing us to actually hear most of these, I'm going to forgo the commentary. Edit: I changed the order of these slightly after I initially posted them. Am I being obsessive? You be the judge.
