35. "Keep You" by Wild Belle
Continuing my homage to WQAX – the little radio station that eventually couldn't – I present my top 35 tracks of 2013, along with three adventure picks. These are not the best songs of 2013, or the most important songs of 2013, but rather my personal favourites.
Tracks #8 through #1 can be heard in their entirety in Too Much Rock Podcast #267, or click on the each song title to see its video. Also check out my Top Albums of 2013 list as well.
