Top Albums of the Year Part 2 of 5: Electronic

Electronic music is largely represented as the music of the future. But when bands or artists start making this kind of music it's hard not to say we live in the future. This year's electro music is equipped with gravity defying synthesizers, high flying keyboards, layering like something that's super layered, drum beats that make you feel like the final boss, and majestically swirling vocals. Here are my top Electronic albums of the year (alphabetically).

Top 50 Albums of the Year Part 1 of 5: Pop

So another year is coming to an end, and that means best music lists will be popping up everywhere including Killing Sasquatch. I'm going to do it a little differently. I'll have 4 categories of great music then a top 15 list at the end.

So to start it off is the world renown genre of pop. Pop music is music that everyone can enjoy, no matter where you are from. It always has a catchy beat with lyrics and themes that embodies people's emotions. I feel like these albums have not only embraced those ideas, but pushed popular music into a great direction. This list is alphabetical order.
