Have usually found at least a few allmusic.com reviewers I could get in sync with (Erlewine was one of them, but his 2010 list is kinda... interesting). There's probably something for everybody, but like the best of these kinds of things, they are combinations of longtime favorites and "Hey look at this cool thing I heard this year!" that I like on year end lists...
Here is the overall list, I suppose a compendium or distillation of all the individual lists:
