1. U2, 'Songs of Innocence -- I actually didn't hate this album but it's definitely not the best of the year by any stretch. Not even Top 100.
2. Bruce Springsteen, 'High Hopes' -- This was such an average album.
3. The Black Keys, 'Turn Blue' -- Again, this one wasn't bad but among the best? No...
4. St. Vincent, 'St. Vincent' -- This should be top 5 in every countdown.

5. Miranda Lambert, 'Platinum' -- Didn't even care enough to listen.
6. Charli XCX, 'SUCKER' -- the ****? Am I missing something?
7. Lana Del Rey, 'Ultraviolence' -- I really like UV but it's not Top 10 material.
8. Run the Jewels, 'Run the Jewels 2' -- I really liked this one too but it's not Top 10 material either, Top 25 maybe.
9. Mac DeMarco, 'Salad Days' -- Top 25 material, definitely. Not among my personal top 10 though.
10. Taylor Swift, '1989' -- Not in my personal Top 10 either but it doesn't
not deserve it. It's great.
