In all the year end fuzz, let's not forget the little people. An EP can pack as much punch as a full-length album, and we love recognizing smaller releases from artists who might get overlooked on all the other music sites. We present you with our top 30 EPs below, and thanks for another great year for sharing a love of music with us.
