2014 in List Form

2014 was a challenge, but it wasn’t that bad of a year as far as my likes and hobbies go. It was a banner year for my Seahawks, that’s for sure. While I do not have nearly as much music from 2014 on my hard drive as 2013, the albums I did like this year were extremely good. There are some albums that I really liked that didn’t even come close to cracking the top ten. While the year was personally challenging, there were some moments that stood out above the rest. Per my usual, here is 2014 in list form.

As I post every year, everything is ranked by my arbitrary personal preference. I don’t consider myself to be an expert (or even semi-expert… yay 14 year old inside jokes) for any of these things, but I do like what I like. This just gives you a better glimpse into the things that I do like.
