Dopo quelle di Rumore, The Quietus, Blow Up, Mojo, NME, Norman Records e Rough Trade, arriva anche la classifica di Rolling Stone America dei 50 migliori dischi del 2014. Taglio alquanto classic (con qualche sbandata nell’hip hop), con il podio assegnato a The Black Keys con Turn Blue, Bruce Springsteen con High Hopes e U2 con Songs of Innocence (album dell’anno, nonostante le polemiche legate alla distribuzione del disco). Completano le prime dieci posizioni St. Vincent con St. Vincent, Miranda Lambert con Platinum, Charli XCX con SUCKER, Lana Del Rey con Ultraviolence, Run the Jewels con Run the Jewels 2, Mac DeMarco con Salad Days e Taylor Swift con 1989.
