Top 89 of 2014: The Current Staff Picks
December 10, 2014
What are your favorite songs of the past year? That's the big question to ask yourself — it's time to vote on your Top 89 of 2014!
Music isn't like the film industry, where all the award-worthy stuff is released at roughly the same time of year; great music comes out all year round. And there has been so much amazing music released in 2014, it might seem like a daunting task to try to narrow it all down now that it's time to vote.
That's where The Current's staff can help. Because they sample a huge pool of music every year, The Current's staffers' lists of favorite songs might help remind you of great tunes and albums as you get ready to pick your faves.
As we celebrate the best music of 2014 with your votes, we'll be unveiling each of The Current staffers' picks here. We hope you find these lists helpful and entertaining as you get ready to cast your votes in our biggest poll of the year.
