Here are my top ten favorite albums (for the time being) of 2014. The list is subject to change because of the surprise release of the new D’Angelo album “Black Messiah,” which came out just today and sounds absolutely fantastic! I have to live with this long-awaited D’Angelo album for a few days and may just have to tweak my top 10 to include it. Stay tuned.
