The Reverb staff lists its picks of the best songs of 2014, with Future Islands, Run the Jewels, St. Vincent and more.

List season has arrived! And to kick off the month of year end wrap-ups, Reverb brings you our picks of best songs of 2014.

Rather than spend weeks of sleepless nights screaming at each other in the Reverb offices, we opt to create our own individual lists of the 10 best songs of 2014. This, we believe, gives you a look into each writers particular taste, and also gives you a wide sample of tracks to choose from. Below youll find 130 songs (about 100 without repeats) of our favorite songs from the year. Youll notice that songs from Future Islands, Taylor Swift, St. Vincent, Run the Jewels and Ty Segall appear the most on our lists.

To give you an opportunity to hear all of these tracks, we put together a master Spotify playlist (with the exception of repeats and artists not available on Spotify *cough* Taylor Swift *cough*) of nearly six hours of the best music of 2014.

Stay tuned for our picks of best albums and best shows of 2014 later this month. See our Reverb staff lists and listen to our best songs of 2014 playlist below:
