Best of Lists Season continues, here with AV Club’s favorite records of 2014. As it’s a cumulative list with ballots from the site’s music writers (most of whom are in their 30s), you get a pretty typical list but we’ll leave the suspense of whether The War on Drugs, Sharon Van Etten or St. Vincent landed at #1 for you to check out below.

For a little more flavor you can check out the individual ballots and AV Club’s annual “Least Essential Albums” list which is always entertaining.
