Acclaimed Music Top 50 Albums from 2014 poll

I did see Spoon just two weeks back, still on that high and had to vote for it here. I just think the first side is solid gold. The run is "Rent I Pay," "Inside Out," "Rainy Taxi," "Do You" and then ends with "Knock Knock Knock" which might not be toped. Yes, the second side does slow down and din't get "I Just Don't Understand" until I saw it live with Dale Watson on this tour. Then the whole things ends with maybe Spoon's best pop moment "New York Kiss."

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Almost eight years since Black Messiah came out...I can't think of anyone else of D'Angelo's stature who has had a similar output (only three albums - all major works - over a very long period of time). It's like Terrence Malick before he got prolific.

will put up the 2010s nominations thread soon

8 837 Sun Kil Moon - Benji 0

nice

Benji was a great dog. He deserves better than having his name besmirched.

I see I was the only voter for Salad Days

oh well, nice turnout, rather enjoying the split, so many 1-vote albums

Curious who else voted for Ultraviolence.

black messiah was my actual favorite record of 2014, then and now, fwiw

Ultraviolence

Me, though I didn’t have anything in particular to say about it. The first seven tracks are great and the last four are nothing special.

Ultraviolence finishing below rape shocker
