Les Tops albums 2014 de la presse, des blogs & webzines

Comme chaque année, au moment du calendrier de l’avent et du Saint-Nicolas, je vous propose, et cela depuis des décennies, de découvrir les tops albums de fin d’année des divers magazines en ligne anglo-saxons mais aussi français.
Tout au long du mois de décembre, la liste ci-dessous sera mise à jour à chaque fois qu’un nouveau top sera publié chez Pierre ou chez Paul.
Alors, qui pour succéder à Vampire Weekend, Oneohtrix Point Never, Bill Callahan, Arctic Monkeys, Chance The Rapper et à l'horrible Kanye West ? Réponse dans un mois.

(Pour avoir les tops complets, cliquez sur le nom du magazine ou du blog choisi)
