Last week we revealed our Record of the Year list for 2014. The list was the result of what the Already Heard writing team collectively picked as their favourite 10 records of the year.
Now to follow up that list, we thought it’d be ideal to show what our writers picked as their individual favourite releases from the past 12 months.
We want to know your favourite records of the year – let us know on on Facebook or Twitter.
