There is no doubt in our minds that 2014 was yet another great year for OUR music, especially when it comes to NEW musical releases. In times in which EVERY single band is struggling in one form or another due to the decline of the music industry, the need for bands to release top notch quality music is more prevalent than ever before.
Not only are the fans expecting a higher quality product, but they are also very distracted by the legions of songs available online along with the distractions offered by today's modern technology. In other words, bands have very little time to catch the attention of their listeners.
Right now, watch our countdown of the Top 14 Albums of 2014!
