Well.. This just made my day.. Well say coming months! THANKS EVERYBODY!!

Hey, just a couple of small errors I noticed. In Set Two, it's the Sleepover Series vol2, not 3. And in Set 3, it's JaKob with a k.
> You'll also notice that most of these albums aren't on any other > lists, which is intentional. Sorry, late to the party. What other lists?
Awesome.
Only found this thread after googling 'Turtles all the way down' Just to see were the original story/anecdote of where the song title came from. Recently came across it from the fillory/Magician ...
Hey is there a playlist like this one (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwkpk_HRkMymLGC1v9ZktK8uDxJpmTYXl ) for top single tracks of other years?
You're welcome!
I know I'm late to the party, but thank you so much for this.
Wovenhand, hard rock.... ok.
Just wanted to say thanks for this list, been enjoying it quite a bit. Favorite so far is Dance with the Dead. Reminds me a lot of Birthday Massacre. =)
/u/Helvetica_
Snarky Puppy - We Like It Here. Epitome of Enthusiasm. Thank you so much for the introduction!
Culprates deliverance album made it into the must listen list :D! The album is so under hyped, sometimes I feel like I adore the album too much but it truly is the best thing I've heard in a very...
Have you considered applying to be a mod? We're currently accepting applications .

Can I get a torrent
Over the past few days, I've been jumping around this list, and so I figured I at least owe you guys a thank you for putting this together. This is really the first time I've ever stepped out o...
This is incredible. Thanks guys!
Dehnert was on a lot of lists, but I think you're the first to mention Positive Centre. I'll check them out too.
Best Ever Albums has a pretty good list.
No love for Mike Dehnert or Positive Centre's 2014 albums? Oh well, huge list, I'm sure it'll keep some people occupied for a while!
I was hoping someone might do this. I'll roll these into the main post when I have some time. Thanks!
Sadistiks album made it! That was one of my favorites. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, this is a great list.
That King Gizzard album is like Kraut Rock Psychedelic Goodliness
Just wanted to say cheers to all who compiled this list...loving the spotify playlist and I reckon I'm gonna be spending a lot more time on this sub :-)
Holy crap Hurricade caught me off guard. I've been non stop talking about them everywhere the whole year, they're incredible.
Thank you /r/listentothis for including "Not Dark Yet" on the list- honored to be with so many great releases!

I think it's because it brought nothing new to the genre. But, I agree, some really good songs on this album.
I'm also gonna recommend users check out Guster. Awesome music.
Thanks so much for doing this. I caught the link via /r/music and have been watching/listening to the Unpossible Mixtape on YouTube. So much great music, but I've especially enjoyed Snarky Puppy...
although throughout the year I rarely listen to any of the links from this subreddit, this best of year thingy and the spotify playlists are amazing. thank you :)
I think what drew me to the album was the use of vintage music elements in the mixing. That shit is cash, I can't get enough of it. I'm going to arm you with a secret weapon: /r/vintageobscura ...
Thanks for the introduction to Hollie Cook. This is the most chill music I have listened to in a long time.
Heh. Imagine you have a pile of a couple hundred records to listen to and keep hitting on gold like Anti-Lilly... but you can't stop to focus on that album because there's so much more to get thr...
Hate when that happens. :( Which country are you in if you don't mind me asking?
Dude wrote a book with the same title as this subreddit? Can't go wrong there!
Hmm. Well, not exactly the same but still heavy on the soul... Michael Kiwanuka - Home Again Raphael Saadiq - Stone Rollin' Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings - Give People What They Want Charles Br...
Thanks for pitching in. <3
This needs to be gathered together in a Spotify playlist.
thank you for breaking these into different categories, it makes initial consumption so much easier!
Excellent. I needed a jumping off point for new music. This is great.
Okay, I think I've watched less then 10 music videos in 2014, but I'm going to post some anyway (all from the same director): Shabazz Palaces - #CAKE , I've checked it got 400+ views on youtube. ...
I love all of you. Also, I want to take this moment and ask if anyone have any band tips akin to St Paul and the Broken Bones, Vulfpeck and/or Busty and the Bass. I need more soul/funk in my li...
The YouTube playlist is not available in my country :(
saving
Haha thank you man I think you'll like the rest of the album. Check the rest of my stuff at http://soundcloud.com/phoniksbeats and http://phoniksbeats.com
Super thankful for this, great job!
Amazing. A guy posted a link to the Spotify playlist yesterday, and he/she or another Redditor posted a way to view the link without the web player, and that's the only way I'm still listening to...

Mac made it on to everyone's lists this year. I think he was #7 on p4k. That disqualifies him from listentothis. If they cover it, we don't have to... we link to them instead.
I don't recognize a single song. This is going to be a great weekend.
Why didn't Mac DeMarco's Salad Days make it? I submitted it on the /r/letstalkmusic thread and it got over 100 votes.
I feel really good about myself bc I've heard several of these
It's a process. We'll find ways to make it better. ;)
You earned that spot fair and square, the listening team was all in for that album.
Will do! Glad to see another fan of the genre.
Damn, I never got around to posting in the /r/letstalkmusic thread. Oh well, at least I remembered to post in the original best of thread on this subreddit, and a few on my list made it to this ...
Yesss, Kairon; IRSE! is so good, glad to see it make the list
The A.V. Club's 20 best albums of 2014
Thanks very much to everybody on /r/listentothis and especially /u/astarkey12 for including my album on this list, I really appreciate it.
You need Royal Blood in your life.
> Modern Baseball Love this band, seen them twice and then don't disappoint. Awesome that a small and young band like them got on this list.
I had to subscribe, I have no idea how it happened - but I'm glad it did... I wasn't subbed before, though.
This is the best thing
I was also happy to see Sturgill Simpson on this list, I'm not generally a country fan but he makes damn good music. (go JRE go)
only for the lucky few subscribed
STURGILL! God I love that album.
I appreciate that bro! Cool to see the Jazz Spastics album "The Product" on there too because that was my personal favorite project this year.
They are on the popular side of our obscurity checks, but not by a lot. This is listentothis after all. :P
My bad, I had no clue any of this was even going on! Thanks for making that change man, I'll definitely blast the link on social media. Ya'll have me and Anti inspired to go make some new music h...
http://www.bringthenoiseuk.com/201410/music/reviews/album-review-killers-walk-among-us-killers-walk-among-us This has a little bit about. Holy shit everything about that album is depressing.
That Killers Walk Among Us Album was dark as fuck - particularly when knowing the he committed suicide shortly after. I can see why it's in that category.
No love for Manchester Orchestra's album Cope, eh?
check out Tauk's Collisions...killer heavy instrumental experimental jazz rock with a dancable twist
Could you make us a list of some of these artists since you seem knowledgeable about it? I can certainly find room for some jam bands.
Um I've never heard of any of these! I've got some listening to do!
anyone able to show me where i can find more info on Killers Walk Among Us, Stefan and his story?
Good god, it's beautiful! I love this and very much appreciate the work that was put in. +1 each for Snarky Puppy, Modern Baseball, The Hotelier, and Chon.
It was taken down. Use this instead.
I see the best hip-hop album of the year was left off: The Cincinnati Kid by Main Flow. Almost as unfortunate an exclusion was Watson and Holmes by Blacastan and Stu Bangas. Yeah, there were othe...
Kairon; IRSE!'s new album is fucking amazing. One of the best Shoegaze I've listened to. Glad it's on this list.
> Bohren & der Club Of Gore - Piano Nights (moody dark jazz noir) bandcamp link seems to be broken
Good to know. We'll change it over to this youtube link instead.
Bohren und der Club of Gore have been having some legal issues. That bandcamp link wasn't actually connected to the band and some guy was selling all their stuff and profiting without the band kn...
Thanks for all the effort put into this, lots of new stuff to check out. Great job!
So glad to see ITPOW. Backed them from the beginning, love em so much.
Albums we figured might be a little outside of most people's comfort zones.
Hope you dig, most of set 7 (including Fox Stevenson) was submitted by me. Let us know what you think!
No ∆ :( Edit: also I had no idea Panopticon put out an album this past year, I have to check that out
this is amazing _
Can you clarify the "Challenging listen" category? Cause Clap! Clap! is just a lot of fun
I am now upvoting every sticky post I see.
Hooray, this is my favorite time of the year. I'll be spending a while working my way through this treasure trove. Also, I wanted to point out that the musee mecanique track in the set 1 playli...
Great that This Will Destroy You made it to the must listen, their new album is pure genius! :)

Nice, been looking for new music to check out, will be sure to follow the order!
Nice list, glad to see Blockhead. Apollo Brown and BANKS should have really been on this list too.
This is what I needed thank you. I now own a new library of tunes and my bank hates me.
Rob McCoury - The 5 String Flamethrower is straight banjo madness. So much fun. Greensky Bluegrass is also excellent.
Thanks for not limiting it to only the bands everyone has heard of. Typically, not everyone has heard of them (I know I often miss bands that show up on here), and it's just nice to have a cent...
Thanks for reposting! Meatbodies, Julie Byrne, Ricky Eat Acid, milo.... such a great list! Consequence of Sound and Allston Pudding had good AOTY lists, too.
If you spend 2015 listening to all the stuff you missed in 2014 you'll just miss more stuff in 2015! It's a never ending cycle! Gaaaaaaah! Where does it end?! ;)
Commenting to come back to this tomorrow morning when I have to start slogging away at an essay. Thank you!
Love the inclusion of Fox Stevenson! Although if it was me making the list I would definitely have WeAreCastor - Invade & Disco, Savant - Protos and Run The Jewels - Run The Jewels 2.
holy shit thank you for museé mecanique. its like finding typhoon all over again
Oh. wow. You are lovely. /r/artofthemixtape is calling.
So much black metal in space Edit: Also, damn the mods of this sub are great

Thank you! That Youtube playlist is exactly what I was hoping for. I somehow missed it when I first looked through the post.
Wait for the Moment is probably my favourite ever song. It's beautiful. But I think they really ramped up the funk in this outing.

oh damn alex wiley and saba made this?
"Strand - Strand" is definitely not Norwegian folk... He's Belgian and sings in dutch, I believe.
I was glad to see Code Orange, Behemoth and Woods of Desolation on there.
Tags aren't perfect, in some cases we're just copying from what other people tagged these with in the threads where we dug them up. Others are from bandcamp descriptions or general last.fm tags.

I can think of 1612(*) reasons for them to be listed.
I am so very much in love with this sub. The amount of music I have discovered through this is ridiculous. I just listened to Kishi Bashi (Carry On Phenomenon) and I've exclaimed "Holy shit dude"...
Great list, but I see some mistakes in genres. Clap! Clap! - Tayi Bebba is NOT afrobeat. Fela Kuti is afrobeat. Tayi Bebba should be called trap, footwork. Also Doss - Doss EP could be calle...
either way, it's on front page now.

Of course! Glad I could help!
nevermind, i'm an idiot. it's on front page (#19 currently)
Thanks - I'll be checking that out for sure. Also, came here via /r/bestof , and subbing immediately. thanks again.
Oh sweet beauty
That was one of my personal faves. I'm not generally into hiphop. I loved that video for 14 Till.
Porter Robinson. Worlds is an amazing experience, roller coaster of emotions and even better live. I dont know why it received such mediocre scores
Pleased with this list. Next to Nothing by Rittz AND Lightght by Kishi Bashi are on there. Very different genres but both extremely great listens.
wait - so the "best overlooked albums list" was... overlooked? so meta. great list though, can't wait to dive in after work. going up to the ski hill this weekend, pumped to find some new stuff t...
Thank you based mods
Hyps to see the homie Milo on this list. He needs more recognition
In addition to Metacritic's Best-of-2014 List, it might also be worth linking to their aggregation of critic top 10 lists . Personally, I prefer the top 10 list aggregation because it measures ...
awww yis thanks. I find so much stuff I like in these sets.
like i said yesterday ... this makes my year. thanks so much guys.
Awesome to see my album with Anti-Lilly ("Stories From The Brass Section") nominated on here! Thank you!! It's a small request but if you could change the genre from "electro hip hop" to "under...
right? it's not even close
Ahh. Makes sense
Why don't you sticky this post?
I think you meant Seun and not Sean Kuti.
I've got a lot of work to do and glad to see Sadistik listed.
I've just listened to him for the first time and Sweets and Tico are like Super Mario Kart mixed with House and I love it.
I saw Bohren & der club of gore a few months back when they played in a church in london. One of the greatest gigs I've been too. Highly recommend anyone listening to their albums in a dark room ...
Delighted Vulfpeck is there.

Good to see Royal Blood in there
True, I don't have time to listen to 179 albums, maybe the first 1-2 tracks tops. I might just sort by "Top > This Year" and get a better list.
I really loved the 2012 top tracks list, and it sucks that 2013 and 2014 are just big lists of albums. Ideally, I'd like a curated list of 1 or 2 of each artist's best songs, so I can quickly lis...

As a big fan of Fox Stevenson I'm glad others recognize his work. I'll give every part of set seven a listen though!
Perfect timing, my playlist is getting pretty stale.
Are you doing a top tracks as well, or just albums?
Going to load up the full playlist now!
Sweeeeet! Gonna enjoy this a lot.
