NME's Top 50 albums & tracks of 2014

NME

It’s the last week of November and we’ve hit Best-of List Season. Especially in the UK where we’ve already seen album lists from Rough Trade, MOJO, Q, and Uncut. Now here’s long-running UK weekly NME with their LPs and tracks of the year. Topping the lists are St. Vincent‘s self-titled album, and Future Islands‘ omnipresent “Seasons.” (Sorry, The War on Drugs, you’re slightly lower on the list here.) And just to remind you they are British music magazine, Kasabian figure into both lists. Check out NME’s full Top 50 LPs/Tracks of 2014 lists below…
