Lofty’s Fav 45 2014
by John Loftus
There have been so many fantastic singles, EPs
and albums released during the year that it was a near impossible task to
whittle those hundreds of tracks down to a mere 45 but hey that’s what this time year is all about, “end
of year”
lists are a seasonal tradition up there with mince
pies, turkey and mulled wine.
Thankfully I had the listeners of 8radio.com
to help me out with their nominations for Lofty’s
Fav 45 along with pointers subtle and not so subtle from my fellow 8radio.com
presenters so that’s how we got to the final 45 tracks which can be listened to in full
