Since Pop music was horrible this year, I decided to discover some new bands.

So far, the greatest was The Shins. I am SLAYED. Dawes comes in second.

I also listened to The Rural Alberta Advantage just this morning and I love them. Definitely one of the best.

Lana Del Rey

I just realised you said 'this year'.

Alt J - nice indie electro pop with a twist. :-)

Marina & The Diamonds, Nicki Minaj (i listened for the first time to Pink Friday after release of PF:RR and I was listening to both for like a month ), Lana Del Rey, The Saturdays

Imagine Dragons

I discovered Bloc Party in July this year. One of my favourite bands already.
Franz Ferdinand, Charli XCX, Jessie Ware, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and Imagine Dragons were also great discoveries of mine this year.

This...
