Best year for music in last decade was...?

[oSuJeff97 3,439]

So I was just going through some of my "best of" lists for each year in the last decade... as I was going through I noticed that my "Best of 2014" had like double the number of songs of every other year.

Just looking at the list of albums that were released that year, 2014 absolutely slammed and went hard. 

My "best of" songs list had several other albums represented, but these were my favorite albums of that year and holy hell there were just tons of great ones:

• Spoon - They Want My Soul
• The War on Drugs - Lost in the Dream
• St. Vincent - St. Vincent
• Sturgill Simpson - Metamodern Sounds in Country Music
• Old 97's - Most Messed Up
• Angel Olsen - Burn Your Fire for No Witness
• The Black Keys - Turn Blue
• Beck - Morning Phase
• Courtney Barnett - The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas
• Real Estate - Atlas
• Jenny Lewis - The Voyager

What's your favorite music year of the past decade?
