I'm an unrepentant fan of synthpop and generally only listen to music that's from the last decade, so you won't hear any objection from me over that.

I admire the shit out of the Kendrick album, but get basically zero pleasure from listening to it.

B&C's 2015 Albums of the Year AKA The One Time A Year Peef Uses Math
I admittedly ranked Chvrches higher than it probably deserved but I love synthpop.
Again, no one should be surprised Kendrick Lamar didn't rank higher on a U2 message board when only 20 people submitted lists and several of those people don't care for hip hop

If there's ever going to be a hip-hop album with cross-over appeal for B&C, Butterfly should have been it. One of the tracks samples Pyramid Song for Christ's sake.

I think the Chvrches album is really strong, and has one of my favorite songs of the year in Clearest Blue. I really admire TPAB, though, and rationally I think it should have finished closer to the top, even though I ranked it below Every Open Eye in my own list. I just derive more pleasure from listening to the latter, even though the former is most likely superior art. Not sure if that makes sense, but oh well.
Speaking of a girl over keyboards, I'm pretty happy with the Grimes placement.

I don't get the appeal for CHVRCHES in general really. Their music is so safe. You only have to look at Grimes to find a more ambitious album in the same genre. Luckily that album finished higher.

Chvrches really do not interest me, but there's nothing wrong with them either. Most of their music is nice to have on and occasionally a song will jump out at me. The buildup on Clearest Blue is really cool.
It's a shame that Susanne Sundfor's album didn't get more love here because it's in the same vein and to my ears a million times better. I think a lot of people here would love it if they gave it a chance: |

Grimes album reminded me too much of Hatune Miku songs or whatever; pretty happy sounding, overly-energetic pop which is fine, but not necessarily my type. As much as Im Japanese, I hate those songs. That may explain why I hated Sophie songs. CHVRCHES are great, but Every Open Eye is....boring, kinda made me go "meh". I know they might have experienced some pressure to reproduce album with the quality of The Bones of What You Believe, but..... I don't know, I may be just feeling too bitter for artists. I still like them, though, as I like Lauren's voice. or her general cuteness.

I've actually never heard a CHVRCHES song. I didn't listen to the debut and didn't listen to this one either.
It doesn't actually sample Pyramid Song, I think that was actually live band music that just sounds very similar. But Hood Politics does sample Sufjan's All for Myself.

Definitely start from their debut rather than their newest one, Cobbler.

Well, Kendrick would've at least placed over the insipid Churches had I turned a list in. My bad, gang.

You are the reason Dirk will never win a ring again.

Yeah, this top 10 list definitely proves to me that I am not of the same taste as many of you. I have very little interest in synth pop and absolutely no interest in hip hop. I'm really hoping guitar driven rock makes a revival soon.

Im really hoping the return of rock as well, though I don't see it in the close future; the live instrumentation is back in the mainstream, but.....whether they're "rock" sounding is kinda separate problem. I kinda start liking synthpop though. After hearing that ISIS hates synthesizers.
