Any Decent Music's Readers' albums of the year
On a related note, the general non-local lack of love for the latest Twilight Sad record astounds me. Sure I can see it being outside many of the top ten listings but not placing in most of the top 50's? Potentially the strong Scottish accent puts people off? Or maybe I'm horrendously overrating it. I can't tell.
I'm looking forward to the Dandelion Radio festive fifty - I don't tend to trust singles lists but they have been otm the last couple years. Makes me miss Peel counting it down though.

If you look at the previous Captain Beyond Zen lists, they're historically quirky. But considering the vastness of how much is out there in those genres, I wouldn't consider anything making the top 40 as being underrated. I enjoyed giving that Wolf Blood a re-listen, but still a bit surprised with the Possessor showing.

I'm a little intrigued by seeing more things like the RS top 20 avant-garde list and the VV noise list and the Baltimore City Paper's avant-garde and classical lists. I feel like until recently, there was little coverage of avant-garde and new music outside specialist publications like The Wire. Is this a new trend or have I just been missing these? If the former, does it reflect greater accessibility of the music for journos via Internet streaming, e.g. Bandcamp, or does the avant-garde perhaps have some kind of new cachet?
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 31 December 2014 17:03 (nine years ago) link
I think it says more about me and Raymond
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 31 December 2014 17:06 (nine years ago) link
Hopefully it's the beginning of a trend (thank ya, Chris).
Maura let me start doing noise stuff when she was at the Voice, but props to Brian McManus for authorizing me to do the noise list for two years then do a column for the past one (and thanks to the current VV folks for letting me keep the column rolling).

I'm pretty sure I've seen Exclaim.ca publish lists like that before, I don't think they've done it this year though. Pitchfork has had Top Left-Field Albums or something like that as well. And NPR did one in 2012 at least.
― Dinsdale, Wednesday, 31 December 2014 17:49 (nine years ago) link
Chris and Raymond definitely deserve credit. I just thought it was noteworthy that RS was willing to publish a list like this in 2014 when it doesn't seem like something they would have done previously.

As much as I'd love to help push some narrative about avant-garde music is penetrating mainstream culture, the simple, unsexy truth is I did this exact list at SPIN for two years when I worked there — but now I work at RS!

Afisha Volna's poll of Russian critics and musicians' top 20 albums of the year doesn't deviate wildly from the international consensus. Nice to see Owen Pallett in there though.
