RTJ2 is at top of my list almost certainly.
I found this below on some year-end lists and I've been way into it lately.

oooh glad I came here...
I've probably listened to RTJ about 5000 times... didnt know RTJ2 was available!
thx $$
Gotta throw my hat in the ring for Run The Jewels as well. Some decent albums released this year, but nothing grabbed me by the balls like RTJ and RTJ2.
Honorable mention goes to Mastodon... I thought Once More 'Round The Sun was fucking fantastic.
Retarded dishonorable nomination goes to Froggy Fresh

Yeah, "Who Do You Love" is really good. I was listening to it yesterday though and I realized he says American Inventor a LOT. Made me a bit uncomfortable.
As for Froggy Fresh, I thought he was outed as actually not being retarded and the Froggy Fresh thing was just a gimmick for publicity?

Honestly my favorite album from this year is probably Jack White's Lazaretto. It's not a very hipster choice, but that album is badass. Title track:
I also really enjoyed Lake Street Dive's newest album, Bad Self Portraits. I'm digging some of these fresh revival groups.
Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings is another one. Who also had an album come out this year.
And I always have to plug Chris Thile's work. Because he's one of the biggest badasses in music these days. Nickel Creek had their first album in years come out this year. This song isn't typical of their sound, but the video is sweet.
And for you prog cats, Transatlantic had an album come out this year. Mike Portnoy drumming is always worth a listen.

Yeah his real rap game name isTyler Cassidy-- not bad, but not great. I'd argue that his Froggy Fresh (AKA Krispy Kreme) persona is superior because the comedy/catchy factor is so high. I wasn't actually hating on him; I actually think his new album Dream Team is damn good, and Reindeer Games is one of the catchiest tracks I've heard all year.

Are there any sites/magazines that split the difference between Pitchforks "trying so hard to be hipster that it hurts" vibe and Rolling Stone's "Springsteen and U2 are still relevant" reputation? There has to be a middle-ground somewhere that is a good resource for decent new music.

Those Run The Jewels albums are just monsters. Messes with my head while listening that Killer Mike is Taquil from Friskey Dingo. The new alt-j album had some good tracks but it's a lot of studio magic and they sound like shit live. Mogwai Rave Tapes was really good, a few standouts but overall a good Mogwai album

It's weird to basically leave a forum for a year and come back to pick up where things left off.
I'll post some of my favorites shortly

I came across him earlier this year as well, trying to find some non-shit/mainstream country. Though I guess playing Letterman is kinda mainstream...
