Carly Rae Jepsen's "Emotion" and Justin Bieber's "Purpose". I honestly never heard of the other albums.

Is it because you only listen to anime music?

I mostly listen to rock and metal, which hardly ever make waves over the usual pop and hip hop music that consistently chart these days. I do have some anime songs in my library, but it's less than 10% of my total music.

If any of the albums in TC's list are actually rock/metal albums (and I just don't know them yet) let me know and I'll give them a listen.

the best rock album of 2015 is "Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress" by Godspeed You Black Emperor (if you skipped the two drone tracks in the middle >_>)

If the honorable mentions count, I've listened to seven.

Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
Beach House - Depression Cherry
D'Angelo - Black Messiah
Chris Stapleton - Traveller
The Weeknd - Beauty Behind the Madness
The Internet - Ego Death
Marina - FROOT

I'm floored that Lianne La Havas - Blood and Lupe Fiasco - Tetsuo & Youth are missing, though. Those are two of the best albums of the decade.

This should be an actual crime. One of my favorite albums regardless of year.

Thanks, I'll look it up. What I heard in the track you posted sounded pretty good.

I don't know if I'm interested or not if I haven't heard it yet. I want to find more rock bands than the ones I know, especially recent ones and not the same ones I've been listening to since 2006 like Alter Bridge or Yellowcard.

Thanks a bunch, I appreciate it. I looked up a couple of samples from each one and I like what I hear so far. I generally prefer rock songs that are a bit heavier and harder (I can post a couple of my favorites if it would help me get more similar recommendations) but this style is pretty good too.

Typically these aggregate lists dont include much rock/metal since theyre pulling from everywhere

for great hard rock/metal from 2015 Id recommend:

Khemmis - Absolution
Windhand - Griefs Eternal Flower
Tribulation - Children of the Light
Baroness - Purple
High on Fire - Luminiferous

Purple is phenomenal. And yeah I agree. The year end lists tend to go for mainstream top 40 stuff and the indie rock world. The whole heavy side of things and the old legacy bands from the past decades are barely mentioned.

Which is part of why I barely ever find new artists to listen to. I barely ever hear people talking about the genre anymore because it gets drowned out by pop music that floods the charts. The only new rock band I've really picked up in the past 5 years is Roselia, and that one's only because it overlapped with my weeb shit.

For what its worth, almost nothing on that top 50 list is conventional pop music

Then what is it? Seriously, I haven't heard of any of those albums or like 3/4's of the artists before today. I probably look like an idiot, but I really am that out of the loop when it comes to music in the past decade.

There is a wide range, from psychedelic folk, art pop, jazz, hip hop, jazz hip hop, blackgaze, soul, alternative r&b, etc

its a good list overall, Id recommend just checking out the music on it
