If you're reading this after December 21, congratulations! You survived the apocalypse! More importantly, we all survived the endless chatter about this apocalypse. Perhaps as our world turns a corner this year, we can start to put this talk of worlds ending behind us and focus more on making this planet we have a better place while it's still here. After all, it's got a few billion more years of life left in it.

Here are the songs that you selected as your favorites from 2012. Here's to another trip around the sun, and here's to the music that guided us along the way…
