Wrapping up with my list of the Top Songs of 2018. 2018 was a phenomenal year for music, with Foster The People delivering a killer comeback track, the U.K.'s own Glass Caves, The Kooks, and As It Is sending up mind blowing anthems, and newcomers like Devon & The Doo, Tipling Rock, and Chris Ruediger driving home some summer ready anthems. There was a little something for everybody on this list, and no matter what your musical taste is you'll definitely find something that is

As 2018 winds down and you gear up for the holidays, it's time to wrap up the year here on MusicBoxPete, and I proudly present to you my picks for Top Albums of 2018. It was a banner year for a bevy of acts, with Vacationer delivering their best album to date, The Kooks, Underoath, and Arctic Monkeys returning after long absences, and the U.K.'s own As It Is and Boston Manor delivering their most ambitious efforts to date.

All in all, 2016 was a pretty tragic and eventful year for music, with the sudden passing of numerous music luminaries such as Prince, David Bowie, Glenn Frey, the list reads like a who's who of the past 40 years, and coupled that with the sudden loss of UK indie upstarts Viola Beach in a car accident in Sweden, it was an unexpected avalanche of tragedies that we were unprepared to

Continuing my year end rundown with a look back at some of the top songs of 2016. It was a diverse and entertaining year for music for sure, with Adele dominating the sonic landscape, Justin Bieber making a triumphant return, and amazing singer-songwriters such as Vance Joy and George Ezra begin to come into their own. The new-folk movement is also in dominant shape, with The Strumbellas and The Lumineers clearly in charge and in full throttle at this very moment. Newbies lik

It's that time of year where Best Of lists are being cranked out, and we kick off that yearly tradition with my rundown of the top albums of the past year. 2016 was a breakout year for some acts, including Boston Manor who arrived with their debut release "Be Nothing", Pierce The Veil continued to excite longtime fans with their new once "Misadventures", and Two Door Cinema Club went into a dance frenzy on their disco inspired effort "Gameshow" that showed the evolution of th
