It's time for the 2014 AOTY awards -

[warongiygas]

Hi everyone!

Seeing as the year is drawing to a close, I was thinking we could all celebrate by posting some of our favorite albums of 2014 and maybe make some last-minute suggestions. I'm going to keep my list to 10 albums, but feel free to post more or less depending on your listening preferences.

Seriously though, make suggestions. Music is awesome!

please do not post anything related to U2

Now dim the lights, have a drink / smoke / both, sit back and enjoy:

warongiygas' BEST OF 2014:
- The Shivas - You Know What To Do
- Scott Walker and Sun O))) - Soused
- Lorelle Meets the Obsolete - Chambers
- Dahga Bloom - No Curtains
- Gulp - Season Sun

RUNNER UPs:
- clipping. - CLPPNG
- Sun Kil Moon - Benji
- Run The Jewels - RTJ2
- Ariel Pink - Pom Pom
- Iceage - Plowing Through the Field of Love

Let me know if you'd prefer I add links or not. I think a youtube clip per album would make every post huge... then again, without links, no one is going to look for those albums... what do other kiwis think?

 

[Roger Rabbit]

Oh, that's easy.

Weird Al Yankovic-Mandatory Fun.

It's the only album I heard this year.

 

[Ronald Gaygun]

I've only bought like, five this year, but here they are in order:

1: You're Dead! - Flying Lotus
2: Dude Incredible - Shellac
3: Soused - Scott Walker and Sunn O))) (Honestly not sure which I liked more between this and Dude Incredible)
4: Green Language - Rustie
5: Rave Tapes - Mogwai

[Gerion]

Whoa, you guys listen to some dope stuff. I like all the stuff mentioned so far. I put forward Andy Stott's Faith In Strangers, Shinichi Atobe's Butterfly Effect, and Frank & Tony's You Go Girl. For a late entry, Theo Parrish's American Intelligence sounds pretty fucking good to me, but I've only heard half of it up till now.

 

[Artard]

Eh, I hate these things.

1. Moodymann LP
2. Tycho: Awake LP
3. Theo Parrish: American Intelligence LP

I could come up with more but those are the 3 that I actually play regularly.

Jungle: Jungle
Aphex Twin: Syro
The Bug: Angels & Devils

It's what I think Yung lean was going for with his previous music but didn't have the budget to do
