End of the year, fellas. Time to recap what I listened to in 2014. The recommended ones of course. There is also some release date info (imported from last.fm). The recommendations are the music I feel that they created some kind of impact in my life this year (and probably yours too later). They are definitely remarkable tracks and albums which I think worth-listening and worth-mentioning. Also, the recommendations include that of my friends in last.fm which were posted on my last.fm shoutbox. I don't know. I just feels like putting them here so that others too, can choose to listen to them or not.
