That's a weird list - so many rekkids deserving higher props - The Skull, Wo Fat, SV, YOB, HoE, blues pills & a bunch of frankly boring records- demon eye, PHW, Blood Farmers. To each his own, I guess.

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?

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!
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 31 December 2014 18:03 (nine years ago) link
OK, was just wondering. I haven't followed these threads most years; that's why I asked the first question about whether this has been going on for a while.

This informal list was compiled by Turntable Lab employees. The list consists of records that TTL picked up in 2014: new releases, reissues, old-new-to-us titles, novelty records, etc. Many will probably be unavailable, at moment (holidays were craze), but sign up for Stock Emails if you're interested.

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.

Angel Olsen - Burn Your Fire With No Witness14. Owen Pallett - In Conflict13. The Bug - Angels & Demons12. Sun Kil Moon - Benji11. Run the Jewels - Run the Jewels 210. D'Angelo - Black Messiah9. Andy Stott - Faith in Strangers8. Actress - Ghettoville7. Todd Terje - It's Album Time6. Dean Blunt - Black Metal5. 4 Pozitsii Bruno - Ya Zakazan4. Ariel Pink - pom pom3. 3. Flying Lotus - You're Dead!2. Ivan Dorn - Randorn1. Caribou - Our Love

As requested, this shows the average number of mentions for each list's choices. Thus if a poll had nothing but unique choices, it would score 1.Yardstick note: if a publication's Top 50 contained the exact Consensus Watch Top 50, it would score 30.22. For a Top 40, it would score 33.38. For a Top 30, 37.8.I've only listed polls with at least a Top 30, but all polls have been used for the calculations (cutting off at 50 for longer polls).
