Out of curiosity, I compared my top 25 albums of 2014 with some of the other popular lists to see how much overlap there was.   The answer is not much.  There are a bit more overlaps than in years past, but still largely a distinct list.  So, if nothing else my list could be some new music for you.

• No overlaps with the 50 from Pitchfork.
• One overlap with the 50 from Spin (Joyce Manor #32 at Spin, #25 on GT)
• No overlaps with the 50 from Paste
• No overlaps with the 50 from NPR
• One overlap with the 50 from Stereogum (You Blew It #45 at Gum, #10 on GT)
• No overlaps with the 35 from GorillavsBear
• Four overlaps with the 20 from Punknews (The Hotelier #16 at Punk, #7 on GT; Cayetana #14 at Punk, #12 on GT; Joyce Manor #13 at Punk, #25 on GT; Prawn #10 at Punk, #9 on GT)
• No overlaps with the 25 from MetaCritic
