It's the 10th of December, 2018, year end lists have already started to compile, so we better share ours!
Same thing as last year, myself, Brian Opp and Eric Rasmussen will be choosing our personal top 10 of songs for the year. Now I don't have a recent picture of just us three, but here's us in about 20-25 years.
So I think I'll give Brian Opp the honors of starting this year. Here is his list, in particular order, 10-1. (All pictures represented of each person will be over 10 years old...this might get rough!)
Brian Opp's Top 10
10. Maroon 5 - Girls Like You
9. Ghost - Rats
8. LSD - Audio
7. Imagine Dragons - Thunder
6. LSD - Thunderclouds
5. Drake - Nice For What
4. Young the Giant - Superposition
3. Travis Scott - Sicko Mode
2. Flora Cash - Somebody Else
1. lovelytheband - Broken
Super diverse list! I dig it, a few songs on here almost made mine...you know what? I'll go next. Mine is also extremely diverse as well. A lot of near misses, but I'm pretty content with my top 10. Here we go.

And that does it! Ras's list is amazing. Tons of amazing rock, he actually has a longer list of the years best music which is incredible.
It's been a while since I've blogged, some have noticed. It's been a year, but I think we're finally good to blog again more consistently. The next few blogs will be ones that have been on the back burner for a while, the most underrated big bands is basically written, so that's coming soon. I really want to do an NES blog again. I have to write one on how people take fantasy football too seriously, and we have the future, no doubt award winning story, of how I found my dad after 36 years.
As always, thanks for reading, thanks for being awesome, and be ready for a blog explosion the next 2 weeks.
Until next time.
