2015 end of year lists

as per usual I had planned to do a list but shite got in the way and ive come in and stolen everyone elses choices. So cheers

Add yer own anyway

enjoyed the surfin mutants pizza party album tucker so nice one for the recommendation there. i get what you mean about the replacements vibes, i was also getting some early green day feeling from it too.

Is anyone besides srk planning to post a list?

There was a lot of stuff I liked this year, but pretty much nothing I loved. A lot of 6s and 7s out of 10 and nothing more than 8.

15. Carl Barat & the Jackals
14. Dead weather - dodge and burn
13. Ryan Adams - 1989
12. Guy Garvey - courting the squall
11. Jason Isbell - something more than free
10. New Order - music complete
9. Swervedriver - I wasn't born to lose you
8. Charlatans - Modern nature
7. Libertines - Anthems for doomed youth
6. Kendrick Lamar - to pimp a butterfly
5. Blur - the magic whip
4. Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - chasing yesterday
3. Calexico - edge of the sun
2. Richard Hawley – Hollow meadows
1. Gaz Coombes - Matador

get em added up barny.

i'd imagine we're in for a kendrick win. he seems to be the one who features high up in the majority of lists the most.

The top 10 from all the notable end of year polls collated at www.albumoftheyear.org/list/summary/2015/

1) Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
484 Points

2) Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell
225 Points

3) Father John Misty - I Love You, Honeybear
219 Points

4) Grimes - Art Angels
213 Points

5) Courtney Barnett - Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit
197 Points

6) Jamie xx - In Colour
187 Points

7) Tame Impala - Currents
165 Points

8) Sleater-Kinney - No Cities to Love
158 Points

9) Björk - Vulnicura
152 Points

10) Julia Holter - Have You in My Wilderness
149 Points

You'd think it was a pretty fucking dull year for music going by that list.

Assuming D'Angelo was 2014 (would have been my #1 either 2014 or 2015), then here is my top 10, now no one cares:

1. Kendrick - To Pimp A Butterfly
2. Future - DS2
3. Kamasi Washington - The Epic
4. A$AP Rocky - At. Long. Last. A$AP
5. Jamie xx - In Colour
6. Deafhaven - New Bermuda
7. Courtney Barnett - Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit
8. Grimes - Art Angels
9. Young Thug - Barter 6
10. Vince Staples - Summertime '06

Great year for music

On the top50 every pick has been voted more than once or selected as the best album by anyone. No album with 3 votes or more is out of it either.

Keep them coming Barns. great work.



Like all three of her records, it is decent enough, but never comes across as anything that is actually worthy of my time. I love the idea of this modern day Nancy Sinatra type, I love the way she's marketed as this bird that'd suck her own dads cock too. But when her music (minus the occasional track) has remained so unremarkable I've just ended up disappointed every time I've tried one of her releases.

I wish she'd do a Bond theme though, she's tailor made for that.

Nothing matters anymore, David Bowie is dead.

Shut up kev, every year it gets harder for me to butter up barny to do the calculations and then you tell him that his work isn't important!

Barny, we appreciate your work in adding up all 3.5 of the lists!
