I was initially a bit surprised by this list (well, more accurately some omissions from the list), but then I remembered this is a bandcamp list. By that I mean that the focus will be on underground artists or artists who are currently flying under most people's radar and unconventional/unique art. This is not a bad thing or a statement against their list, I love and use bandcamp a lot. It is just important to remember what the grading scale being used is when looking at a "Best Of" list. Most of the artists I have heard on here are very deserving of their spot.
Sidenote: I always remember and appreciate how much effort and thought bandcamp puts into how they make their lists. I love that they did away with "Top <N> of <Genre>" lists. They're so subjective, and you're always going to miss out on some works that were equally deserving of being on the list but couldn't be put on because we're only allowed N items. Unordered lists that have as many items as the writer thinks earned "Best Of" is something I vastly prefer and would love to see adopted more generally.
