December, that temporal delineation when tradition dictates we take stock in all which has transpired since last we experienced this socially agreed upon occasion for reflection. Who are we to break with such time-honoured conventions? Presenting the 2021 instalment of the annual "event" that kickstarted this blog over a decade ago now, it's Wet Thud's Top Songs Of The Year list. As per usual, the list is non-genre-specific, and simply contains a sequenced collection of the songs that resonated most pleasurably in our earholes these past twelve months.
