I'll kick this off with this list from albumoftheyear.org
looks like they've scored using listener reviews scraped together from multiple sites
always amazed when I look at these end of year lists
I think of myself as staying on top of music
then I see I have heard of 8 of the 25 artists on this first list
and think I must be pretty ignorant of current music
always makes me wonder if I'm missing a gem
no time to listen to everything
and I don't even work
anyway
