I really loved the Sleater-Kinney, Courtney Barnett & Mynabirds albums this year. The Bjork and Decemberists albums were good too.
Some stuff I enjoyed but havent given a proper listen include Kendrick Lamar and Sufjan Stevens.
I really liked what I've listened from Joanna Newsom so I should check her new album too. Should probably check Father John Misty as well.

Re: Top Ten Albums of 2015
in no particular order:
D'angelo
Sleater Kinney
Modest Mouse
Cournet Barnett
Kendrick Lamar
Blur
Destroyer
Wilco
Jim O Rourke
Sufjan Stevens (probably the best from class of '15)
kinda dissappointing:
Tame Impala (maybe i was just expecting too much...)
My Morning Jacket (a bit over the top...)
Deerhunter (far from his best..)
Sun Kill Moon (he has done soo much better on so many records)
Don't feel the hype:
Father John Misty
Jamie XX
Tallest man on earth
Alabama Shakes
Downright horrible:
Ryan Adams - 1989 (come on, Lame!! he just want to f$ck her or go viral..whatever..next..)
Muse (my head hurts..WTF is this dude singing about...)
Death Grips - (the joke gets old..)

Sorry, you had it listed as Leonard Cohen's album -- did you mean "Popular Problems?"
