You had Frank Ocean over Robert Glasper. I’m very disappointed Frank should not have even made this list.

Im down with everyone commenting on Oddisee, that was my personal album of the year. Glad to see it get some love at least though. HHDX didnt even have it in the top 25

Man, I respect that. Glasper is a jazzy beast and certainly Black Radio was one of the biggest releases of the year for okayplayer. I can’t give you any specific reason other than the fact that were 12 LPs we felt more strongly about. Its not like he lost points for losing three points of contact on the dismount or something. This list reflects the subjective feelings of me and others on the okp staff and speaking for myself the only criteria that really mattered was the desire to keep playing a record over and over again (the rest is just trying to explain why you want to listen over and over). By that score i found myself drawn to tracks from the Black Radio Recovered remix EP much more than the album itself, as well as some of the amazing live moments Glasper was at the center of. Some of those will definitely be reflected in my votes for the other years best lists we’re cogitating on but in terms of an lp to listen straight thru, i found i picked my spots with Black Radio a lot more than any of the other LPs on here.

Eddie, I agree with you on this list, totally. But, could you explain why Black Radio isn’t in this one. To me, and to most of who responded, it should be in there.
To Me Black Radio was one of the revelations of last year.
