Ehh. I will be waiting for your Best songs since I have only listened to like 3 albums from 2015. But let me read your Worst of album list since I live for the drag. Damn yo drag Lana and her sugar daddies well. And I like Lana’s music. Don’t drag twenty one pilots too much and their confused sound. Nice rip on Selena and JB too. I like Smoke + Mirrors, but it’s no Night Vision. I agree that they did too much and mess themselves. Still, they got some nice gem. I did an ATRL review on their album in the ATRL Critics thread and gave theme like a 69 or something. You’re more of a critic when you reached the top 3. I heard Y&Y’s music and there are not bad and like their dance synths bops. Just gets boring after a while.
Your Best albums, let me see. I’m enjoying Ciara and Meghan’s music so I will gave their albums a listen. Same with Florence and the Machine. Not bad so far. I still be waiting for the Best songs.
Considering how hard I stanned for their EP, I wish I liked Reflection more I just couldn't get into it! Let me check out the songs you listed as being good.
All Time Low, much like their younger clones in 5 Seconds of Summer, followed a clear formula for their most recent album. Even if Future Hearts doesn't deliver many surprises in its songwriting or production, every song here is undeniably catchy, and even if the hooks don't stick as well as they should, at least they feel good in the moment.
24. The Weeknd - Beauty Behind the Madness
The Weeknd doesn't come off as the most likable guy; he seems conceited and Beauty Behind the Madness is his shamelessly indulgent excursion into mainstream pop. But can you blame him when he has the allegiance of innumerable men and women? Dance-pop numbers produced by Max Martin (Can't Feel My Face, In the Night) take center stage, but The Weeknd also manages to shine on overlooked cuts, such as Losers and Acquainted.
23. Breaking Benjamin - Dark Before Dawn
Breaking Benjamin's Dark Before Dawn comes nearly six years after the band's previous release, Dear Agony, and the entire lineup of the band, with the exception of Ben, has shifted completely. Breaking off from longtime producer David Bendeth, Dark Before Dawn is the first album to be entirely written and produced by Ben himself, but don't expect much to change. Despite his complicated health issues, specific lyrical details are sparse, and their hard-hitting alternative metal sound hasn't changed a bit. However, ignoring these apparent shortcomings, it's clear that the band has been revitalized, not only with its songwriting, but on the charts as well (Dark Before Dawn is their first #1 on Billboard)! The new tracks have a pristine, clear, and shameless sense of melody, and the guitars and choruses are indelible (Failure, Angels Fall, Hollow, Never Again).
22. Adam Lambert - The Original High
Initially, The Original High might seem like a letdown. The songs serviced to Lambert don't allow him to totally showcase his utter talent, and working with Max Martin's team lends a generic, unoriginal product. The focus here isn't necessary melody, but hooks. Even if they might not be immediately noticeable, songs like The Original High, Another Lonely Night, Evil in the Night, and even deeper cuts (Lucy, Shame) manage to worm their way into your head.
21. Coldplay - A Head Full of Dreams
A Head Full of Dreams is the album where Coldplay brazenly make their way into clubs and parties. On Mylo Xyloto, they at least had a shred of rock credibility through their collaboration with the legendary Brian Eno; A Head Full of Dreams' sound has mostly been crafted by StarGate, the Norwegian super duo behind the biggest hits from Ne-Yo, Beyonce, and Rihanna. There are some indulgent, superfluous bits, like Kaleidoscope and Colour Spectrum, but a majority of A Head Full of Dreams is carefree and surprisingly exploratory. Hymn for the Weekend features the aforementioned Beyonce, X Marks the Spot is radio-ready urban pop, and tracks like Fun (which features Tove Lo) and A Head Full of Dreams are some of their most unabashedly poppy songs yet. It's a far cry from the post-Britpop genius of A Rush of Blood to the Head or the experimental and conceptual Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, but it's undoubtedly a bunch of fun.
Thanks for the comments, ya'll! I'll be posting ten more songs in a jiffy because there's a lot to get through.

I couldn't get into Smallpools
5SOS are great. I like how they're repping or pop-punk.
I didn't know you liked 5H They're great though.
I agree that Trade Hearts is by far the worst song on Jason's album. Pure filler.

Meh, a lot of people like it, but it's too basic and repetitive for me.

Love these Great songs list so far
For albums: Half of Weeknd's is good King Adam TOH was amazing, as usual.
Can't go wrong with Fall Out Boy and Jet Pack Blues is alright, I love AlunaGeorge so it's cool to see them represented there, right along with Reflection.
I haven't been able to get into Perfect. It's alright, but doesn't do too much for me
Still gotta listen to Breaking Benjamin, but I love Adam's and Coldplay's. Could do without Tove Lo on Fun though
Lean On, Ice Cream Man, and... is that... yes!!
Millencolin! Egocentric Man slays

The Weeknd doesn't come off as the most likable guy;
Maybe this isn't why I don't like him too much. I don't think he comes across as that likable or interesting a figure enough to keep my interest.
Im not usually a fan of "Worst Of" lists but Im glad someone put Imagine Dragons in their place.
You echoed my thoughts on Piece by Piece. Kelly still has a killer voice but I don't think she could have made a more boring album. I'm glad you were able to enjoy it a little at least.
90-80 songs are dope.
As for the question you asked- I have always been Team Oasis, though I only recently realized they were in competition lol. I like plenty of Blur songs but always lose interest about halfway through the album. I'd say that Gorillaz are my favorite Damon, led by 2010s excellent Plastic Beach.
