Favorite Albums of 2015?
 

I got into this discussion last night. 2015 had a lot of great music.

Since I work in front of the computer like most of you I listen to a ton of music while typing away. I would love to hear your favorite albums of 2015 so I can hopefully check out some new music :-)

That being said a couple of albums really stood out for me in terms of sound and being good from start to finish.

Alabama Shakes - Sound and Color



Girlband - Holding Hands with Jamie

people still buy albums?

I buy them.

I buy mp3 albums still for my tablet/ phone This year I didn't buy as much as I have in past years but here is my list and I like them ALL.

It's nice ordering from amazon cause they keep track of what you've bought and you can use it on anything unlike when I had a ipad and itunes only let you use the music you bought on apple devices..

Shit, that's 1991...

It must suck to be a teenager nowadays...

i saw him with porcupine tree back in 2003 in toronto. i think it was at the opera house. it was opeth and porcupine tree. awesome show.

Saw Porcupine Tree at Radio City Music Hall in NYC in 2010. Since then have seen him solo twice - once in Toronto and once in Buffalo. All awesome shows. But Opeth would have been awesome to see too.


.

i've seen opeth a few times around that time 2003-2005 in toronto. That show however was special in that they did their 'acoustic' album damnation in its entirety. i'd love to see steven solo but the closest he's coming to where i am now is montreal, still a 2 and half hour drive. i wish he'd come to ottawa.

Oh man seeing Damnation live would have been awesome. I'm not really a fan of Opeth's grunting style songs but I really love their mellower stuff and their last couple albums.

Also not sure if you're aware but Opeth just released Deliverance and Damnation in a set with new stereo and 5.1 remixes by none other than Steven Wilson.



.

Paradise Engineering by Ace Ventura
Ace Ventura - Paradise Engineering - Iboga Records - CD on Psyshop

I was expecting something super-awesome from Infected Mushroom's Coverting Vegetarians II but it is almost complete shit :( There's a crappy track on it featuring Sasha Grey... But there is one track on it which compensating me [I Love This Track]:

I'm still living in the 70s-80's.

De Lux - Generations

Not for everyone, but it's the closest anyone has come to being Talking Heads in the last 25 years...

My mind is blank ...

Shitty music is like shitty fast food. If you just eat McDonalds, you think it's good.

Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly was my fav... Closest thing to 90's hip hop in a while.

Lots of great music in this thread. Kendrick Lamar's album and Kamasi Washington are in my top 10 for sure for 2015.

If you like Kendrick Lamars album here is a local girl in Minneapolis - Lizzo





This thread had the intended outcome, I have lots of new shit to listen to :-)

Have a look at these , not new just found....

Not far from your local...

This may have been the best thing i have seen last year!@
Wow,,,,Widespread Panic covering Cohen!!!

Dope! Thanks for sharing!

These boys rip if you have never heard or seen their work!:)

These guys remind me of a more jazzy version of Breakestra.

Its the front man,...he has a way,...Breakestra,,,will look them up TY
