12. Obtain 40 albums in a single year (Year 2)

So, the last day of 2014 and I thought I'd share with you my list of top 40 albums I obtained during the year.  I guess the list is in this order based on what I enjoy listening to the most and also my favourite artists.  I never go into the technical side of things like the production etc. it's purely on how I feel when I listen.

Feel free to comment below about what your favourite album of the year is and why.

Jason Mraz
YES!

Jason Mraz's "YES!" is my number 1 album because I think he's an exceptionally talented singer/songwriter and the songs on it are so easy to listen to.  A great mix of up tempo and slower tracks.  Jason teamed up with a band called Raining Jane who provide the backing vocals on the album - and everyone knows I'm a sucker for harmonies.  I saw Jason and Raining Jane live this year at the Royal Albert Hall and it was totally worth the money - a fantastic show!

You may have noted I put in a soundtrack in the top 40.  I don't usually do this but it was one of the albums I couldn't stop listening to after seeing the film.  It really affected me (in a good way) and thought it deserved to be in the chart.  Well-written songs sung by Keira Knightley and Adam Levine.  Go and see the movie!

Year 2 is DONE!

Looking forward to some amazing album releases in 2015. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR READERS!
