Now I'm very curious to see your list.
I must admit, I am limited in my ability to listen through many full albums, but I've probably listened to 20 or so, and have "listened through" a couple dozen more.
My taste resides more on the indie-rock, indie-pop, folk, Americana, some electro, some straight rock, still a sucker for some 90's alt sounds.
I don't do instrumentals. I don't do metal. and rap is not often on my radar, except for some 'grime' type stuff. If someone make a song longer than 6 minutes, it better be fucking fantastic. I prefer my songs to be 3 to 4.5 minutes and have some hooks and melody. And i am a sucker for slower songs that really capture me. 4th of July by Sufjan Stevens was a song that just grabbed me and left me speechless this year. (somewhat fueled by personal circumstances).
Anyway, the album list will be difficult for me, but here are my top songs (so far) I think i'm pretty complete. I should probably start a top 15 songs thread really. In Alphabetical order
BEC SANDRIDGE - In The Fog, In The Flame
Colleen Green - Whatever I Want
DRALMS - Shook
EL VY - No Time to Crank the Sun
Everything Everything - Zero Pharaoh
Foals - Mountain At My Gates
Julien Baker - Something
KidWave - Honey

Pine Grove - Angelina
Ryan Adams - Out Of The Woods
Sjowgren - Seventeen
Sufjan Stevens - Fourth of July
The Helio Sequence - Red Shifting
The Vaccines - Dream Lover
Wild Ones - Dim the Lights
Father John Misty - True Affection
Maybe not quite as highbrow as some, but i enjoy em.
