Music Head Wrote:I'll start this off with charts from a site called popmatters
At this point they have 5 different charts of different genres
Some sites specify a genre, others don't
But let's not get into the whole genre thing.
Just look at 'em, and comment if you wish.

7. Colin Stenson & Mats Gustafsson - Stones
8. Tame Impala - Lonerism
9. Rush - Clockwork Angels
10. Death Grips - The Money Store

The Tame Impala album and the Death Grips one were put where they were because I couldn't remember any other albums that I liked this year, and while those certainly are good albums, they're not as great as the ones that precede it. Plus I did plan having Rush at 8 and Tame Impala at 9, but the latter has really grown on me.

EDIT: I just reread the OP, and I saw that these were from sites. Should I find one that I like or is it alright if I leave my top ten?

At any rate, here's the Rate Your Music top charts:
1. Swans - The Seer
2. Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d. city
3. Max Richter - Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi - The Four Seasons (Konzerthaus Kammerorchester Berlin/André de Ridder; Daniel Hope)
4. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!
5. Grizzly Bear - Shields
6. Converge - All We Love We Leave Behind
7. Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do
8. Enslaved - RIITIIR
9. Tame Impala - Lonerism
10. Led Zeppelin - Celebration Day

And here's the top ten from Pitchfork:
1. Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d. city
2. Frank Ocean - Channel Orange
3. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!
4. Grizzly Bear - Shields
5. Beach House - Bloom
