Consider sales, hit singles and awards when deciding which was the best country album of 2014. Or just say “To heck with it!” and choose the one that made you happiest.

It was hard to narrow the field for this 2015 Taste of Country Awards category. Jason Aldean was No. 1 in sales, but how can you deny the emotional songs on Dierks Bentley’s 'Riser'? Fans are just beginning to dig into Lee Brice's most recent release, while Eric Church's ‘The Outsiders' is as familiar to some as their favorite spot on the couch.

Albums from Tim McGraw, Miranda Lambert, Brantley Gilbert and Hunter Hayes also made the cut for this honor. Choose your favorite album from 2014 and vote often. The winner of this Taste of Country Awards category will be announced on Feb. 3.
