While it was a down year for popular music, 2014 was as good as any other year when it came to overall music that I liked. Without further ado, let's dive into my 25 favorite songs of the year that ended up outside the Billboard Year-End Hot 100. These songs are not ranked, they are instead grouped roughly by genre.
Also, check the bottom of the post for a Spotify playlist of all the songs on this list. You can play it at your next party, and thank me later.
