B&C's 2015 Albums of the Year AKA The One Time A Year Peef Uses Math

u2popmofo · 12-02-2015, 07:55 PM

Post your favorite albums of 2015.

Here are the rules from last year:

- You list your top 15 albums.
- You distribute 100 points up among those 15 albums however you see fit. You cannot exceed 15 points for a single album, however.
- A top thirty will be formed, and if necessary, a minimum number of votes will be required for an album to make the top thirty.
- In case of a tie, the album with the larger number of votes gets precedence. If they are tied in both points and votes, we move to a shootout.

I misread that as 'meth'.

I'm not sure if we could count how many times a year he uses that.

Kieran McConville · 12-02-2015, 08:20 PM

I listened to literally not one album released this year.

To start things off, here's a list where Beach House just barely beats Marilyn Manson.

Oooooooh. Excited to do this. Didn't put together a list last year but there's a bunch of stuff I can choose from for 2015.

I'll be putting Adele at #1 because she's overweight.

The trick is to let Excel do the math for you.

This is my favorite thread of the year. I agree with LM - this has been a really strong year in music. It will be tough to rank the top 15.

Axver · 12-02-2015, 08:46 PM

This is going to be an exceedingly difficult year for me to rank. One of the strongest in a long time.

prbiker15 · 12-02-2015, 09:09 PM

Agreed - it's been a great year of music. Will be very difficult to rank it all.

iron yuppie · 12-02-2015, 09:18 PM

There's a very clear #1 for me, followed by 3 or 4 great albums, then a lot of really good ones.

Here's an Aussie perspective from one of our larger local sites: The 50 best albums of 2015 | FasterLouder

With regards to the local albums that may not be so well known internationally, I definitely think Methyl Ethel's Oh Inhuman Spectacle (#44) deserves the hype. I need to hear Gold Class's It's You (#36); I've seen them live and enjoyed them but have only heard the singles. Twerps, Dick Diver, and Royal Headache have all been much loved here but I wouldn't recommend any of them. Traviud probably would.

It's inexcusable they skipped over Dorsal Fins' Mind Renovation though. That's a fucking gem that I think some of you folks would rather enjoy. Get on it.
