Best Rock Album of 2014

The very best album I have listened to this year is Damon Albarn's Everyday Robots. This album is simply genius!!
It's on Spotify so you can listen for free. Dan is/was the lead singer for Blur and the man behind the Gorrilaz .
If you love creative inventive music please give this cd a spin. I know you will love it. Todd

REM's Unplugged: The Complete 1991 and 2001 Sessions

If you love The War On Drugs new masterpiece you should also really
enjoy
Strand of Oaks' new release called Heal. It too is a fantastic album!!

Just can't get into the new Beck- so dreary, but not groundbreaking or fresh. Call me crazy.

I am really enjoying Damon Albarn's album- its pretty unique as far as singer/songwriter music goes.

If you dig Avant-Rock, Factor Burzaco - 3 is the best rock-based album of the year BY FAR. Again, it requires an ear for the eclectic as a prerequisite.
