Sulphur Aeon: Gateway to the Antisphere.

It also wins the coveted “Album artwork of the year” award.

“Album artwork of the year”?

It looks like something Saddam would have had on his wall 😯

Yikes… I jjust listened to some on YouTube…. OUCH…. Must remember to turn my headphones down (maybe to 0). Not my bag, baby!!

Wont be popular with some here – But the Happy Hippie Miley Cyrus charity backyard sessions have utterly transformed a couple of long motorway journeys

Nice, not heard that before.
DId you hear this little gem…?

For me the best this year has probably been Band of Skulls – Himalaya.

Culture of Volume – East India Company
From Kinshasa – Mbongwona Star
Expanded(Live at The Barbican) – These New Puritans – OK 2014 but a favourite of mine for 2015

Well it is popular with me but i cant find it on itunes. Is it actually an album…? Or just on youtube?

eddiebaby – no idea, a CD just appeared in my car one day, but my daughter tells me she downloaded it here:

U2, The Joshua Tree.

I’m usually a late adopter…

Thanks Ninfan.
That will cheer up the hipsters at work today. 😈

Either Alabama Shakes or Tame Impala for me. Re-issue would be Van Morrison – His Band and the Street Choir. Just re-discovered his brilliance.

According to the Jate household jury (particularly the Jate juniors) it is Sufjan Stevens’ “Carrie & Lowell”.
I rather like the Courtney Barnett one too.

After a lot of thought, the one that really stands out for me this year is Everything Else Matters, by pinkshineyultrablast.
It’s derivative, clearly owing a lot to the newly reformed Lush, but it’s so well done, and live they’re superb, top-notch musicianship, and chuffin’ loud!

Really fell for these guys this year…

Saw HEALTH (above) in Bristol this year, incredible live band.

Kelly Jones – SheBANG for me… in all probability, probably the best pop album of the last decade..

Taylor Swift 1989

Or some band I hope most people won’t have heard of.

Dollhouse Songs by Consumer Electronics.

Not everyone’s cup of tea, but a real meeting of minds, brilliantly produced and executed perfectly.

still can’t post videos

Another vote for Grimes here. Ace record.

Rae Morris – Unguarded
[video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-a_GN6E9DtU[/video]

Gabrielle Aplin – Light up the Dark
[video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSUlyiM-usQ[/video]

But obviously Currents by Tame Impala. Surprised nobody’s said it yet

Taylor Swift 1989

A great choice but it came out in 2014

Tame Impala was awesome as was Jamie XX.

I’ll throw Yours Dreamily by The Arcs into the pile.

Some good choices but everyone has missed Emotion by Carly Rae Jepsen.

No Carly, no party

Great album!
