The Best Tracks of 2014: 100-51

The most fun list to put together. Sequel to Your Life presents: The Best Tracks of 2014.

Well, by 'the best', of course we mean 'our favourite'. It's important to remember that this is a pretty arbitrary exercise - there's no point spending hours debating the merits of, say, Drake at #94 rather than #95 when you could be listening to more music. Hundreds of songs were considered, and the constraints of the list format mean that many great ones missed the cut.

It's also inevitably a biased list, reflecting personal preferences - mainly indie, hip-hop, grime, and a helluva lot of tracks from 2014's breakout internet label PC Music. It's a heady blend of mixtape cuts, Soundcloud uploads and album highlights. Treat it as a taster menu from the last twelve months and you won't go far wrong. Not to mention there's some fantastic music videos buried in the links.

We've printed this first instalment without blurbs so as to be able to include more tracks. Hopefully you won't be intimidated by the wall of titles. We'll go into more detail as we run further down the numbers, but for now, we sincerely hope this list helps you discover something new that you love. Are you sitting comfortably?
