Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp A Butterfly Genius – Album Ranking Page 2015

Obviously a fantastic album.

Fr me, it’s #2. I just don’t think it hits the heights of Carrie and Lowell, and I also don’t think C&L ever dips as low as this does.

OK, it’s popular, but it’s actively bad. Let’s get something more interesting, and not to mention better, on the list.

10. (Pop/Electronic) Grimes - "Kill V. Maim" Genius – SOTY List 2015 - Second Draft

Hook of the year?

Deserves a top 15 spot imo.

Definitely not my favourite on the record. I’d place California, Belly of the Beat and Artangels above it tbh

3. 8 - (Rock/Folk) Sufjan Stevens - "Fourth Of July" Genius – SOTY List 2015 - Second Draft

Give this a listen, and then tell me this isn’t better than “Only One” and “u”. Obviously those are great songs, but I think this should be above it.

This song should totally be under “Only One,” regardless of how Only One places.

OK so whilst I love this song and think it should be above “Only One”, I don’t really think it’s SOTY. Sorry Tyrant! I’d maybe drop this down two places.

25. (Rap) 5 - Drake - "Back to Back" Genius – SOTY List 2015 - Second Draft

Seems to just be on here for reasons of meme, but objectively it isn’t that good a song.

Maybe 40-50th.

Should be top ten. It’s the best song on the biggest debut of the year.

@Theonlydjorkaeff I love them both, but I think this one has come to represent Courtney more, if you get what I mean?

Personally I’d maybe switch with Canal St.

I like Pusha, but this doesn’t deserve to be on this list. It’s pretty average.

I might like this more when it is released on an album, but for now I don’t think it has the magic of “Chocolate” or “Sex”. Love the horns though.

If Drake and The Weeknd get songs in the top 10 then this should make the list. It wouldn’t be my pick by any means but it has been huge. Low placed, but on the list.

This should make the list. Too experimental for a top spot but deserves the top 50.

@Vesuvius i see the logic here, but were these songs released before or after our year-end list last year?

@nietzsche Whilst I agree, I think the logic is that “Mr Noah” (along with “Sunday Candy”) is going to dropo because it was released as a single in 2014.
