Over the last few months I have spent many hours catching up with some of the best received albums of the year. More time than watching films, I would say. Some didn't take my fancy, but many I enjoyed immensely. My second listen of my #2 ranked album was one of the most rewarding 40 minutes of the year.
Even though I barely scratched the surface of all of the music out there, here my top picks of 2014 with a Pitchfork rating out of 10.0:
Just missed the cut: G I R L - Pharrell Williams, Are We There? - Sharon Van Etten, Too Bright - Perfume Genius, Rips - Ex Hes, Pinata - Freddie Gibbs and Madlib

It's great to see Spoon and The War on Drugs on your list. Both of those are among my favorite from the year. I like the way the Spoon album is so brief yet packs such a melodic punch. It's one of those albums I can listen to over and over.
