Playlist Postscript: 2012 Ian Picks The Best Songs of 2012

How do they hold up 12 years later?

As 2024 winds down and the music industry reaches to pat itself on the back by celebrating the best products of the year, I’d like to reach even further back into the past. For the rest of the year I’ll be revisiting old playlists that attempted to sum up the best of the best from years further in the rearview. First up, we have my playlist of the Best Songs of 2012 as selected by 2012 Ian. In 2012 I was fresh out of college and killing time by writing for the now defunct blog Wine & Pop while applying for jobs. What music did this miscreant find most appealing? Do those songs still hold up today? Scroll below the paywall to find out! As always, the best tunes will receive the coveted Lamniformes Shark Emoji of approval (🦈).
