Author Ryan Logan
The superstar singer-songwriter celebrated her birthday on December 13. At age nine, Swift became interested in musical theater, also traveling regularly to New York City for vocal and acting lessons. She later shifted her focus toward country music, inspired by Shania Twain's songs.

What was your favorite song of this year? A list of the top 100 songs has been released by the website pitchfork.com. So, basically some dude who writes for this website thought, Hey, here are my favorite songs.  I am starting to not agree with it, for one reason only. I honestly have never heard about 90 percent of these songs. …Let’s see what you think?

So what goes into a song being one of the best of the year? Does it have to do with the actual sound and composition of the song or does it only have to do with how popular the song was that year? Also, Let me know, what songs would you replace in this list? It’s hard for me to do a best of the year for songs, Being a Classic Rock radio guy I tend to listen to a lot of older music. It is embarrassing but sometimes I will hear a song, play it for my wife and see will inform that the song is years old. Yes I know, I shouldn’t be 32 years old lol!

Anyway, let’s get into this list from pitchfork.com and see what you think

“A & W” by Lana Del Rey tops a list of the best songs of the year.  It’s followed by “Boy’s a Liar Part 2” by Pink Pantheress and Ice Spice, and “Will Anybody Ever Love Me?” by Sufjan Stevens.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
