Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 I was the only vote for Run the Jewels, which is extra hilarious to me for some reason given I'm rarely the one saying "hey go listen to this rap album". I've been laughing about that since last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 This list is kinda great, actually, minus all the ties. Good variety, stuff you'd expect on any 2013 list and stuff that you wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Oh yeah, my ballot. I limited to 10. Colin Stetson – New History Warfare Vol. 3: To See More Light The Flaming Lips – The Terror Beyonce - Beyonce Daniel Romano – Come Cry With Me Queens of the Stone Age - …Like Clockwork Run the Jewels – Run the Jewels Black Sabbath – 13 The Men – New Moon Windhand - Soma Nine Inch Nails – Hesitation Marks I guess I should probably listen to at least one 2014 album soon since it's April now.

Brian Fowler Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 At least one other person voted for 40% of my ballot! I loved Get Lucky, but nothing else on that album struck me as being remotely listenable, much less good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
