Welcome to Part 2 of my Best of 2014 list. In Part 1 we looked at top albums, and now, we will take a look at top songs, anticipated albums of favourite EP’s of 2014.

There you have it. My favourite 10 EP’s, 10 anticipated album releases of 2015, and favourite 30 songs of 2014… So…what are your favourites? Let us know in the comments, and be sure to check back soon for my favourite movies and TV shows of 2014. Til next time.
Josh, I’m glad you didn’t leave out Dan Bremnes’ Beautiful in your top thirty songs of 2014. For the EPs, my faves are Angie Miller’s Weathered, Leeland’s Christ Be All Around Me and G1C’s #Faster.
My number one anticipated album of 2015 is Bethel Music’s We Will Not Be Shaken. I am anxiously waiting for this album to be released. From your list of anticipated albums, I’d say the only album I won’t be looking out for is Fireflight’s INNOVA.
