 Hey guys, it's MJ the student's act tree and in this video I want to look back in 2015 and some of the top 25 albums that really influenced me and that I just thought were really cool So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to very quickly go through the top 25. I'm not a music Critic or anything. So I'm not going to give a long long thing on all of them But yeah, here we go. Here are my 25 favorite albums of 2015 Okay, coming up in 21st place is a group called St. Estonia They're a bit of like a post-grunge rock band and they're a bit of a super group You know, they've taken the lead singer from Three Days Grace and their guitarist has come from Stain In 24 we have the blues psychedelic garage rock band The Dead Weather and I really love love love Jack White in my opinion He's the best musician ever and he forms part of this. Yeah, they're also like another super group In 23rd place, we have the soft dreamy rock of Coldplay and I know it sounds exactly the same like all the other seven albums But head full of dreams. It's really cool and I love this song called fun Number 22, it's a it's a French electro new disco guy called Madion And this is his album called adventures and I found out about him as one of his songs Are on the FIFA 15 track list. So yeah, go check him out Then we have of monsters and men. They're an indie folk pop easy listening group Although I really don't like their the album design for beneath the skin and actually in Iceland They had a different album and it looked all the cover was different and looked like this But again, I don't really like it that much. Anyway, moving on to number 20 is Tame Impala. I Absolutely loved their old stuff like it's some of my favorite music ever They were like psychedelic rock and now it's more this neo Sacadillia pop it's cool, but it's not as epic as their their previous stuff Number 19 is sir Robert Bryson Hall the second Also known as young Sinatra also known as logic and this album the incredible story It's really cool. It's a little bit like the sci-fi adventure and I enjoyed it some of my favorite songs were fade away and upgrade and Yeah, it's just good quality good quality rap In number 18, we have Mumford and Sons. I wasn't a big fan of the earlier stuff But this album Walden minds. It's got some great songs. They're also a folk rock Band and they're from London Our city mobile orchestra comes in at number 17, you know, I loved Midsummer Station So this album was a little bit disappointing because it's not it's not as good as the previous one They're also sin pop. I love the album cover and so much so that I even made my my own little version This is my little fan art for for our city Give a little thumbs up on this video if you think the album arts pretty cool And next we have in number 16 place a passenger with whispers to Again, I did prefer the previous album, but it's still pretty epic this one. This is Michael David rose Rosenberg He's the man behind the album and Passenger it's sad depressing folk rock, but you get addicted to it. So it's pretty pretty sweet number 15 is blur and Wow, I mean, I remember listening to blur and they had a track called song to which was the title song of FIFA 98 I know that's like back in the day and it was amazing. I Didn't like anything else of theirs But this album has come up now in 2015 and it's kind of changed that I really enjoyed it in 14th place we have beer Miller and Yeah, if you could take Taylor Swift and Avril Lavigne and make like a clone, baby This is who it would be, you know, she's power pop. She's got lots of attitude And she's very beautiful. So yeah, this is her album not an apology. Go give it a listen In 13th place, we have the legendary guitarist Joe Satriani with shockwave supernova He makes some of the best instrumental rock. I mean all his albums are amazing This one isn't his best, but it's definitely worth listening to Next up in 12th place, we have Ellie Golden and For me, she is the goddess when it comes to synth pop and electronic music I mean her voice is sort of dreamy and this album grows on you the more and more you listen to it Number 11 we have Imagine Dragons. They're like a pop indie rock group from Las Vegas and Smoke and Mirrors is their second album. It's got lots of tracks on. They're all great But Rolling Stones magazine only gave them two stars. However, it did peak at number one on a few of the international billboards In 10th place, we have the post hardcore metalcore group Called we came as Romans. I only found them out this year and Apparently 40 songs were written for this album, but only 10 made it onto the final track list So yeah, we're in the to the top 10. So these you must know these albums are amazing and Number nine is another band that I only found this year They're called turbo wolf and their album is called two hands. It's a hard psychedelic rock With just a little bit of punk They're from Bristol, UK and you definitely have to check out their music video for their song voodoo It's really crazy, but it's kind of creepy, but it's a lot of fun Number eight we have passion pit. This is another band. I found out while playing FIFA and this is the next album They're quite hard to define. It's they're like Electro Park with a bit of neo-sacadelia. It's I don't know. It's happy songs Which is weird because their album art, I don't like it. It looks kind of sad. I don't know what they were doing there But a bands whose album art I did like was bullet for my valentine. They coming in at number seven This is their album Venom and I love how the V stands for venom And it's also the Roman new numeral for the number five and this is their fifth album. So I love what they did there Check out their song broken. It's got your it's got your heavy metal and it's just got the perfect amount of screamer So, yeah, I love love love this album We've got another synth pop group these guys are from London years and years and their album communion I've only found these guys out now in 2015. I listen to this album so many times It's so calming and relaxing So, yeah, if you're feeling stressed Pop this album on In number five we have infected mushroom with their album friends on mushroom I mean, this is the music I listen to while I germ It's like it's like psychedelic dubstep mixed with trans Sure, I'm not sure anybody knows exactly what what genre they are, but they're they're pretty cool Everything's about mushrooms. I mean like, yeah, check check this checklist. I mean, we've got seven on mushrooms We've got nodes on mushrooms. We've got asterisks on mushrooms. I Don't know if they eat mushrooms and they come up with this music, but it definitely has Yeah, something different about it, but I love it. It's really it's really cool. It's really original. It's just brilliant Okay, number four is Noel Gallagher with his album High Flying Birds and he's best known for the group that he did with his brother Oasis and normally I don't like solo artists who come from these legendary bands But no one's unleashed an album that while this is an instant classic And I mean it deserves a place in every classic rock fans collection I mean if you're into classic rock, you have to give this a listen to Number three is muse with their album drones and wow this this is just epic I mean the it's like there's a bit of a military style theater. It's progressive rock I mean, wow, this this is music I mean it went number one in Australia Belgium Finland Holland Denmark France Ireland New Zealand Norway Portugal Scotland Switzerland the UK and America and I think like in every other country. It was either second or third. I mean Wow, this this album it won a lot of awards. It's just it's just brilliant but for me there were two albums that were better than it and Coming in in second place is true colors by Z and when I think of 2015 This is the music that defines the year now Zed is a Russian-German Electro house musician and I found him back in the day on SoundCloud when he was just starting out and It's lovely to see how he's progressed into becoming, you know famous. I mean, he's now making songs with Selena Gomez I mean Selena Gomez. Wow. Sorry. I have a big crush on Selena But okay that aside what is the number one album of 2015? It's none other than Miley Cyrus and her dead pets No, I'm just I'm just joking guys. I'm just just joking that that album I listen to it And I like how she's trying to be original and everything, but it didn't work for me, okay So let's let's be serious. Let's go to the real number one album of 2015 I don't think many of you guys will have heard of him. He's not that famous, but he is incredible. Here it is It's any minion and he's album uncomfortable Wow, I mean this this is a masterpiece and I mean just just go and listen to his song called Desperado It will change your life. I mean, this is a game changer This this is a revolution in hip-hop and the whole rap genre. He is absolutely Incredible, I mean this is this is also the album that I listened to the most last year and Seeing that it was only released in September You must know I was listening to this night after night day after day. He is incredible So yeah, go find him all of his albums are amazing What's nice now is before, you know, he was just kind of starting out He didn't have the best backtrack music now. He's got it. And you know, is he the number one rapper in the world? In my opinion, yes So yeah, that that is the top 25 albums for 2015 and I mean what I've also done is I've uploaded my own Little album that I made using garage band. It's a synth pop.
