So. 2014 has come to a close. In regards to the year in music, I could not have been more satisfied if i had tried. 2014 featured many phenomenal releases, and narrowing it down to 50 of my personal favorites was a struggle, and choosing a number one seemed impossible for a while. Heres the list i wound up with: 1. Weezer- Everything Will Be Alright In the End 2.La Dispute- Rooms of the House 3.Modern Baseball- Youre Gonna Miss It All 4.Run the Jewels- Run The Jewels 2 5.Beartooth- Disgusting 6.Aaron West & the Roaring Twenties-We Dont Have Each Other 7.Royal Blood-Royal Blood 8. Real Friends-Maybe This Place Is The Same And Were Just Changing 9. Being As An Ocean- How We Both Wonderously Perish 10.Islander- Violence & Destruction 11. Cloud Nothings- Here & Nowhere Else 12. Pianos Become the Teeth- Keep You 13.Taylor Swift-1989 14. D’angelo-Black Messiah 15. Joyce Manor-Never Hungover Again 16. Melanie Martinez- Dollhouse EP 17. K.flay-Life As A Dog 18. Masked Intruder-M.I. 19. Braid-No Coast 20. Swans-To Be Kind 21. Slipknot- .5: The Gray Chapter 22.Hail The Sun- Wake 23. Gerard Way- Action Cat 24. Walk The Moon- Talking is Hard 25.Milo- A Toothpaste Suburb 26. Mac Demarco- Salad Days 27. Frnkiero andthe cellabration- Stomachaches 28. Nothing More- Nothing More 29.Closure in Moscow-Pink Lemonade 30. Rozwell Kid- Too Shabby 30. Crosses-Crosses 31.Tiny Moving Parts- Pleasant Living 32.FKA Twigs-LP1 33.Every Time I Die-From Parts Unknown 34. Dads- Ill Be The Tornado 35.Lakota De Kai-Big Dad Wolf 36.Boris- Noise 37.Aphex Twin- Syro 38.Sia- 1000 Forms Of Fear 39.Schoolboy Q- OxyMoron 40.Sturgill Simpson- Metamodern Sounds in Country Music 41.Crown The Empire-The Resistance: Rise of the Runaways 42.Death From Above 1979- Government Trash 43. Shabazz Palaces- Lese Majesty 44. Hoodie Allen- People Keep Talking 45.Open Mike Eagle-Dark Comedy 46. Issues-Issues 47.Flying Lotus-Youre Dead 48. Manchester Orchestra-Cope/Hope 49.The Used- Imaginary Enemy 50. Say Anything-Hebrews To anyone who knows me, seeing Weezer at my #1 spot shouldnt come as any sort of surprise. Weezer not only made their best album in nearly 20 years, but made an album that struck an oddly personal chord with me this year. Deciding on it as my number one came from one moving listen/ discussion about the album, and I stand behind it as the album that truly represents my 2014, despite not being released until October. That being said, all 50 albums I have listed are worth listening too, and are something special in their own right. Happy new year every one. May 2015 be another joyous year for the cherished art of music.
