In no discernible order (other than what we thought might make an interesting playlist), here is a list of The Godfather’s favorite tracks of 2013!
We didn’t feel that a description was needed. With the exception of a few very small comments, we opted instead to include a video so you could just sit back and enjoy these songs for yourselves.
Be sure to also check out B.G.M. writer, Dan Vesper’s wildly entertaining, top song list, “13 That Brought The Fire In 2013” for some more great tunes!
