This year, we decided to ask musicians that we truly admire to pick their favorite albums of the year and name a band they’d like to get together and make a new record in 2014. Check out below the first batch of answers that we received from members of Locrian, Shining (Nor) and American Heritage.
Jørgen Munkeby (Shining)

What band would you like to reunite and make a record in 2014?
I'd love to see what Miles Davis or John Coltrane would have come up with now, if they lived! It would probably be very different from their last albums!
