If you're a fan of me, you're a fan of your motherquackin' self.
Really wanted Darkside, Jagwar Ma, Kurt Vile, Foals and a few others on there, but it was a democratic voting system. Pretty pleased with how it came out. I really enjoy a lot of your lists as well. This is fun and probably my favorite way to discover new music each year.

I haven't even listened to it. I'm so behind on hip hop. the only one I know is going on my top 100 is Run The Jewels. I have a whole list of other albums I need to either give another listen or listen to for the first time.
Have I already missed Baconfork's top albums of the year?
The honest truth is I haven't had enough time to listen to enough music to make a respectable list. When I'm working I have to listen to albums I'm already familiar with or I end up paying too much attention to the music and not getting anything done. Here is a little something though
Bacon's Boring Band Barn Albums of the Year
Cream of the Crop Dr Dog - B-Room Jason Isbell - Southeastern Portugal. the Man - Evil Friends Phosphorescent - Muchaho
Fruitful Harvest Jim James - Regions of Light and Sound of God Foals - Holy Fires Houndmouth - From the Hills Below the City Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers - S/T J Roddy Walston and The Business - Essential Tremors Best Coast - Fade Away Jonny Fritz - Dad Country Charles Bradley - Victim of Love Bombino- Nomad
The Chaff Dawes - Stories Don't End Deer Tick - Negativity Avett Brothers - Magpie and the Dandelion
The Wine Cellar Good Vintage The Band - Live at The Academy of Music Neil Young - Live at the Cellar Door

Here's a list from Hitfix.com. What do you guys think of it?
10.) Blood Orange - Cupid Deluxe 09.) Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of the City 08.) Juana Molina - Wed 21 07.) Nick Cave & The Bead Seeds - Push the Sky Away 06.) Discolsure - Settle 05.) My Bloody Valentine - M B V 04.) Danny Brown - Old 03.) Queens of the Stone Age - Like Clockwork 02.) Neko Case - The Worse Things Get 01.) Jon Hopkins - Immunity
Within my top 10, there's only one new artist. Inside my top 30, there's about 10.
Electronic music had a huge year with the return of Daft Punk, but also with new artist Disclosure, Jon Hopkins' career masterpiece "Immunity, and efforts from others like Boards of Canada, Juana Molina, Baths and Fuck Buttons.
You don't see a lot of rock in the top tiers of the Grammy nominations for 2014, and as loathe as I am to say it, I gotta say I feel almost (almost) the same way. I've loved the work that MBV, Vampire Weekend, Arcade Fire, Portugal. The Man, Bill Callahan and left of center acts like Parquet Courts and Fidlar have done. Queens of the Stone Age and Red Fang are the most rock 'n' roll of these. Beyond that, I didn't feel like I heard enough, maybe, or we had brain space only for massive pop acts like Beyonce (loved), Lady Gaga (disliked), Britney Spears (promptly forgot) and Katy Perry (great singles, exhausting album).
I'm seeing a lot of outlets put "Yeezus" in their top spots, and while I agree its an aggressive, intoxicating album, I put it far lower on my list (than, say, my 2010 No. 1, "My Beautiful, Dark Twisted Fantasy) because it's almost challenging me to give extra points for being honest. Jason Isbell takes that prize, with raw and powerful "Southeastern." Nick Cave gets in there with his twisted, sexual sneering. Danny Brown (my 2011 N. 7) got weirder, at No. 4 this year with "Old."
I'm not a Drake girl, though I think that "Nothing Was the Same" was his best-contructed album. So long as we're talking new-era R&B, I could take Blood Orange dancing all night. Good year for the veteran ladies -- for Neko Case, India.Arie, Laura Marling, Tegan & Sara and new spins (for me, at least) out of Sarah Jarosz, Savages, Feathers and more.
