Jim's Gems 2014: My favourite albums marking their 10-year anniversary 

Lana Del Rey's Ultraviolence and Bob Dylan's Basement Tapes are among Jim's 2014 Gems

Not exactly the most memorable year. Donald Trump bought Doonbeg, the whole country was up in arms over water charges, and we all threw buckets of iced water over each other and filmed it for social media. The innocence of it all.

1. Bob Dylan, The Bootleg Series Volume 11 - The Basement Tapes
