My thoughts...(click for list)
1st - great another list, exactly what we need...
2nd - list are kinda awesome because you don't have to think much
3rd - some very pitchforesque picks...see #100 Clams Casino, #95 Nicolas Jaar, #94 How to Dress Well, #35 DJ Rashad (i'm a fan of footwork, but really?)
4th - #82 Chief Keef - Finally Rich. that was a not good, not at all. in fact it was pretty bad
5th - #79 Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot: Son of Chico Dusy. i can't express how underrated this album was and continues to be.
6th - ditto for Jessie Ware - Devotion (#76) & The Weekend - House of Balloons (#67)
7th - Disclosure not in top 10 or top 20 for that matter...really?
8th - Yeezus at #8? I just don't understand. Oh and to top that off this statement: "the dip of notable hip-hop and electronic releases in 2014 suggests that the shock of innovation froze both genres in their tracks"
9th - Frank Ocean's - Channel Orange (#4) deserves the love. I think the idea that Frank pushed R&B artists back the drawing board is more true than Yeezus...
10th - was surprised that I didn't see Florence + Machine's - Ceremonials on the list until I found this qoute from Pitchfork..."Instead of Lungs' largely charming yet discombobulating diversity, Ceremonials suffers from a repetitiveness that's akin to looking at a skyline filled with 100-story behemoths lined-up one after the other, blocking out everything but their own size."
What the hell does that sentence mean anyway?
Thoughts?

If you don't know the UK based band Rudimental then you should. For the past two years they've been tearing up the music charts in Europe with their huge hit Not Giving In and festival stages across the world. With a songs that feature trumpets, guitars, saxophones and vocalist, it's hard to classify Rudimental's music. UK Garage House, Drum & Bass, Hip Hop, Pop? All the above. Don't worry about the answer - listen & enjoy.
I had the fortune of actually meeting several of their members at Bardot in Miami during WMC several years ago. I also recently saw them at Coachella. They put on one hell of a show and DJ set to say the least.
I'll be there on the 9/12, you should as well. Holler.
