Song of the Week (2012)

Jan 2-Jan 8

This song never gets old for me.

Jan 9-Jan 15

This song seems to get some great covers, including this one.

Jan 16-Jan 22
Feb 20-Feb 26

Still popped up this year (twice!) though I listened to this album like crazy last year.

Jan 23-Jan 29

Didn't get into Radiohead till this year, oddly enough. Love this whole album.

Jan 30-Feb 5

Even though Last.fm tells me I listened to this more than a few times, this song has faded from my memory already.

Feb 6-Feb 12
Feb 27-Mar 4

Another classic. I listened to their greatest hits more than a few times during this period.

Feb 13-Feb 19

Stunning song, made a comeback to my playlist after a few months. Great for workouts.

Mar 5-Mar 11
Mar 12-Mar 18
Apr 9-Apr 15

Discovered the Frames this year and love them! I think Glen Hansard is now one of my favourite musicians given his great work with this band, The Swell Season and his new solo work.

Mar 19-Mar 25

One of my favourite albums from the 90s made it's way back to my playlist with a vengeance this year.

Mar 26-Apr 1

Classic album, still amazing after more than 3 decades.

Apr 2-Apr 8

This is only Mark Knopfler solo album that I gave a listen to outside of his work with Dire Straits. Not up to the best of Straits but very good regardless.

Apr 16-Apr 22

I love Sia's voice. Another one of her guest appearances.

Apr 23-Apr 29
Apr 30-May 6
May 21-May 27
Jul 9-Jul 15
Jul 16-Jul 22

5 appearances (by July)! This isn't quite the best song ever by Soundgarden but even mediocre Soundgarden is better than 90% of the bands out there, in my opinion.

May 7-May 13
Aug 27-Sep 2
Sep 3-Sep 9

Awesome song, hilarious video, damn good album too.


Oct 8-Oct 14

Another awesome song from the same album. The only album with 2 entries on this list.

May 14-May 20

This is one of the best albums of 2012. SSPU have really made a musical leap forward this time around.

May 28-June 3

The best hard rock/metal album this year. This song is great but so is the rest of the album.

Jun 4-Jun 10

Brandi Carlile returns with her best album since her debut 6 years ago. Sounds fresher and livelier than any of her albums since the first one.

Jun 11-Jun 17
Jul 2-Jul 8
Aug 6-Aug 12

The movie was pretty good and the soundtrack was better. This song really got stuck in my head.

Jun 18-Jun 24

Another classic tune. I'm not a Joy Division fan but this song is awesome, has such great atmosphere.

Jun 25-Jul 1

The best RS album? Possibly, though they have at least half a dozen stunning ones. This song features Keith Richards on lead vocals for a change.

Jul 23-Jul 29
Jul 30-Aug 5
Sep 17-Sep 23

I've been meaning to listen to this band for years and I finally did it. Love this song, my favorite by them so far.

Aug 13-Aug 19

Overall, a mediocre album, especially the second disc, but the first disc has some great songs including this one.

Sep 10-Sep 16

Love this song, though the album doesn't match up to his best stuff with either The Frames or The Swell Season.

Oct 1-Oct 7

I've loved this song from the very first time I heard it, some five years ago.

Oct 15-Oct 21

This awesome song was discovered thanks to my cousin, who has good taste in music for the most part.

Oct 22 - Oct 28
Oct 29 - Nov 4

Love, love this song. Have loved it for years.

Nov 5 - Nov 11

Soundgarden are back with a very good album.

Nov 12 - Nov 18

Alanis works her magic on a classic by The Police

Nov 19 - Nov 25

Nov 26 - Dec 2
Dec 3 - Dec 9
