Some members may have been counted twice if they posted multiple lists. At first I was including lists of more than 10, but then I switched to top 10. Each nomination was weighted equally since most lists weren't in order. I didn't include the list that was in sentence format because I was tired and was using a laptop.

I haven't kept up with anything this year at all so even a top 10 was hard. A few stand out for me so here's a top 6....

 

1.) JME - Integrity>

2.) Turnstile - Non stop feeling

3.) Action Bronson - Mr. Wonderful

4.) Beach Slang - The things we do to find people like us

5.) Banquets - Spit at the sun

6.) Between the buried and me - Coma eclipse.

 

Seriously that JME record is fantastic, If you like grime/hip hop or whatever.
