Muitas listas com os melhores álbuns lançados no ano passado já foram publicadas. A nossa, tradicionalmente, sai em março do ano seguinte,  para que tenhamos tempo de ouvir os lançamentos de novembro e dezembro. Tentamos escutar o máximo possível e para isto usamos uma pre-seleção feita por outras revistas e sites musicais. Foram consultadas as listas de : Mojo Magazine; The Guardian; Pitchford; Q; Uncut; Spin; AOTY; Stereogun; NPR; Billboard; New Musical Express; RollingStone; Independent; Metacritic e selecionados 168 álbuns, que foram integralmente escutados. Destes, escolhemos nossos 60 melhores:
