I'd be really curious to hear other peoples Top 10, 15, 20 favorite songs from 2014. I thought it was a really strong year in Metal though I'll be the first to admit I haven't fully digest some of the top releases like Edguy & Sonata Arctica.

Anyway, here's my 10 favorite songs of the year and a few that I'm sure will raise some eyebrows.

Top 10 Favorite Songs 2014
1. While Heaven Wept – Icarus & I (There wasn’t even a close 2nd)
2. Kissin Dynamite – DNA
3. Suncrown – The Beginning In Near
4. Nonpoint – Breaking Skin (They are my guilty pleasure and just seem to get better with each release)
5. Asia – Valkyrie (IMO one of their best songs since Alpha)
6. Voyager – Hyperventalating
7. Binary Creed – Dominion
8. Amaranthe – Drop Dead Cynical
9. Black Label Society – Angel of Mercy
10. Helix – Bastard of the Blues (Dark horse pick…best thing they’ve done hands down since Walkin The Razor's Edge)

Holy Crap love that tune from Gamma Ray.

Also, forgot about the song Schizophrenic from Jaded Heart. What a great tune! Both would make my top 10 if I did it over again.
