Top 10 Albums of 2015 !!!

May I recommend The Pop Group's new record. An interesting come back record from some post-punk heavy weights. If I had 25 spaces for albums on this thread it would make top 20.

Oh, right I forgot that came out this year. I'll go add that real quick actually, thanks. There was a new Gang of Four record too but I haven't listened to anything off it.

The new The Pop Group record: 8/10
The new Gang of Four record: 0/a steamy pile of Rosie O'Donnell's ****

I didn't want to mention the Gang of Four record because I was afraid of that kind of response. It was actually pretty terrible.

I heard it was good, I guess I heard wrong then. I'll go ahead and scratch that off my to-do list now.

Oh please do not let my own opinion stop you. We obviously have differing opinions on the Viet Cong record, so why not the Gang of Four record?

It's probably gonna be a while before I hear it anyways. I'll definitely get around to it at some point.

So far these lists have been pretty similar. The same hip hop, rock, metal, post punk and indie pop albums have all been listed throughout the news outlets and this forum. I really want one out of the blue list that makes me question my very existence. (Or at least my music choice for this year.)

Mine has a few that weren't mentioned by anyone else. KEN mode is amazing and I'm ashamed to have forgotten about Success when I first wrote the list. Definitely my favorite from 2015. If you aren't familiar, they sound a lot like Shellac meets Acid Bath.

I have already got all of the albums listed so far that I have not given a listen to. KEN mode will be one of them. I wasn't talking about your list. I was just getting the point across that a lot of the lists so far have been very similar, mine included. All of the critically acclaimed hip hop records this year were pretty meh to me at least, and they seem to make up the bulk of this years. I thought Death Grips and Tyler the Creator did nice jobs in handing down some excellent alternative hip hop. A lot of the albums though on your list however seem to avoid the general trap of being pressured into liking what is popular. You could make a case of that with my list, but I do not see a lot of the albums on my list hitting others.
