it's gonna take me some time, but i'm gonna do a mega post in here

[Dead & Messed Up]

I'm not good at new music, but

"Diane Young," "Unbelievers," "Ya Hey" from Vampire Weekend
"Came Back Haunted," "All Time Low," "Satellite" from Nine Inch Nails
"Joan of Arc," "Afterlife," "Supersymmetry" from Arcade Fire
"Rap God" from Eminem
"Black Skinhead," "New Slaves," from Kanye West
the entirety of Zimmer's Man of Steel score

[Henry Gale]

As they come to mind...

Blood Orange -- "Chamakay"
Kanye West -- the run of tracks on Yeezus from "New Slaves" through "Blood On The Leaves"
CHVRCHES -- "The Mother We Share", "By The Throat", "Now Is Not The Time"
Charli XCX -- "SuperLove"
Arctic Monkeys -- "Do I Wanna Know?", "Fireside" (and if "R U Mine" wasn't from early 2012 it'd be up here too)
James Blake -- "Retrograde", "I Am Sold"
M83 w/ Susane Sundfør -- "Oblivion"
Mariah Carey & Miguel -- "Beautiful"
The Strokes -- "Tap Out", "Chances"
A$AP Ferg -- "Shabba"
A$AP Rocky -- "1Train" (for Danny Brown's penguin bit alone)
Lorde -- "Buzzcut Season" (not that the big singles aren't awesome)
Janelle Monáe -- "We Were Rock & Roll", "Primetime (w/ Miguel)"
Shlohmo w/ Jeremih -- "Bo Peep (Do U Right)"
Daft Punk -- lots of RAM could be singled out, but I'll go with "Giorgio by Moroder"
Vampire Weekend -- "Hanna Hunt", "Ya Hey"
Wavves -- "Demon To Lean On", "Nine Is God"
Sophie -- "Bipp"
Danny Brown -- "Lonely", "Side B (Dope Song)"
Arcade Fire -- "Reflektor", "Afterlife"
Run The Jewels -- "Get It"
Rhye - "3 Days"
Drake -- "Wu-Tang Forever", "Hold On, We're Going Home"
MS MR -- "Hurricane"
David Bowie -- "Valentine's Day"
Kingdom -- "Bank Head (feat. Kelela)"
Phoenix -- "Drakkar Noir", "Trying To Be Cool"
Sky Ferreira -- "You're Not The One", "Heavy Metal Heart", "I Will"
Austra -- "Painful Like"
Justin Timberlake -- "Tunnel Vision"
The-Dream -- "Tron"
Thundercat -- "Oh Sheit It's X"
Young Galaxy -- "Pretty Boy"
Pusha T w/ Kendrick Lamar -- "Nosetalgia"
Kavinsky -- "Odd Look"
Emily Wells -- "Becomes The Color"
Queens of the Stone Age -- "I Sat By The Ocean"
The xx - "Together"
Burial -- Any segment of Rival Dealer

But I still hate how many albums by artists I love (Neko Case, The National, Four Tet, Jon Hopkins, Jim James, NIN, etc.) still remained unlistened to by me. Those will likely have awkward stragglers of songs I eventually associate heavily with 2014 instead of their actual release year. Blasted timelessness and quality!

[Acapelli]

here's a link to a spotify playlist with all my favorites: http://open.spotify.com/user/acapelli/playlist/7AEj6iPF1aXDqkKmg0kOfp

some of the songs weren't available on spotify, but it was only about 4 or 5

[Henry Gale]

Aw man, why can't Spotify just exist here already? There's some outliers on Acapelli's list that I haven't heard, but judging by the majority of the rest, I'm sure I'd love it all as a playlist.

Really comprehensive, diverse collection of stuff (from what I do know from it). Obviously I agree with the overlap with my own list, but you even pegged some stuff I forgot about.
