I saw this earlier! I can honestly say I'm only excited for Real Estate, Cloud Nothings, and DIIV. After that it's just artists I think I should care about more than I do (Kanye, Radiohead) and bands I don't care about at all (Grimes, Mac DeMarco).

I like Mac DeMarco sometimes but I bet I will like him less as time goes on.

And you never know with Radiohead, they might just shatter my mind with their newest. Or it might be an ego trip.

Excited to see Avey Tare on there. I freakin' loved Down There from a few years back. That was my number one album of that year. I don't think I saw it on many lists. Overall, should be a good year for some old reliables. Cough....Radiohead....cough.

The only thing that surprised me from this list is that Shellac is putting out a new record. I wasn't aware of that. As for the rest, who would have guessed that Pitchfork is excited for the new Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar albums.

Yeah there's a reason I didn't submit it on its own.

EDIT: you'll note that's a Kendrick album they don't even know for sure exists.
