Just realised I've never really bothered listening to anything released relatively recently, I think I'm going to help build a chart for the best albums release from 2010 to 2016' that's over half a decade right there. Please feel free to post your recommendations. Not limited to any genre. Anything great with cultural importance goes.
Kyle and the Gang - Grand Theft Auto V
Two best lyricists coming up.

This shit is the fucking worst. The least you could do is actually type the album's name for us if you're going to go through uploading the album cover. Sure I can fucking reverse image search it, but I'm here to listen to music and discover shit, not sift through irrelevant results and find the one that's actually music.
'image.jpg' fuck you.

I was trying to do this myself yesterday.
I think its very sad that for various reasons, there aren't major genre shifts or innovations in rock music like there were from the 60s to the 90s.
People find music mostly off the internet nowadays, which takes away from the possibility of cohesive local scenes, which came about very naturally under the catalyst of local radio. People are so keen to be the first one of their group of friends to have heard of the hot new artist or track, so as soon as the new artist gains enough popularity to where 20 or 30 years ago they'd be ready to drop a landmark, zeitgeist album, fans now turn against the artist as soon as they're that popular and the band's popularity absolutely plummets as they get shit on by critics for being behind the times. (see Azealia Banks, Sophie, ASAP Rocky, The Vaccines. I dunno shit examples maybe but whatever)
I think the age of big hero bands is over, which I find really unfortunate. Maybe it's oldmannish of me to want an album that 25 years on will be the definitive soundtrack to my youth and one that my entire generation loved.
Anyway I like this album

Ys is easily my favourite but that was released six years before 2010 so doesn't make the list on grounds of basic computational arithmetic.
Next three albums are going to be Pretty Controversial so hold onto your accelerating heart rates!

What did he mean by this?
why are you fags still helping that little shit OP?
>>60872160
What album is this OP???
>>60872388
Oh yeah, didn't think about that. Anyways, here's an often overlooked album by a great band that has experimented with pretty much almost everything by now.

That's a really interesting hypothesis and slightly more reassuring than what I was working off in regards to the unfortunate stagnating of musical development... which was basically the idea that everything's been done already and unless your building your own instruments and synthesising new sounds you'll never do anything interesting.

I'd like to be of the opinion that it's naive to think that there are no more ways in which we can innovate as far as rock music goes.
I think there's a lot of contemporary albums with totally original sounds, but the problem isn't so much lack of originality or room to innovate as much as it is that EVERYONE wants to be original to the point where its impossible for a genre or scene or movement of any kind to form.
Colin Stetson, The Knife, Nicolas Jaar, even James Blake are all arguably innovative but they don't get any traction or reverence for their sound so they become just another album in an avalanche of unique original records
OR you could argue that mainstream music, like films and video games are stuck in a rut wherein nostalgia is what sells. Every blockbuster film in the cinema is a reboot or a book/comic adaptation. Same thing with video games; new IPs or gameplay innovations are few and far between, and tried and true household-name games like mario kart and COD are what sells.
Likewise in music a great deal of what's popular is popular from nostalgia factor; look at fucking vaporwave, the 808 beats of trap, shoegaze revival. It's been happening since the noughties; britains most successful bands of the noughties, the Libertines and Arctic Monkeys were basically Clash and Sex Pitsols tribute acts.
Listening to all new stuff has felt like chore in the past year
