I discovered The Bombpops this year with their second full-length album titled “Death by Venice Beach.” I found their pop punk sound and vocalist to be excellent and the album is still currently in my Top 15 of the year so far.
This song and “13 Stories Down” are terrific and energetic tracks that I keep coming back to. I look forward to them growing as a band from here and what else they can bring with future releases. 25

Wolf Parade surprised me a bit with their album from this year full of a mixture of post-punk, indie rock/pop, and synthpop. This was the first of theirs that I had heard before and supposedly most have said that this is a weaker effort from them. I will have to give their previous releases a try for sure.
I know I ranked this #40, but in a rankdown where I literally liked every song, it feels very underranked. 24

Things continue to stay close in points for the next bunch of reveals. While La Roux automatically drives away, #22 finishes three points up. This one made a deep turn downward overall with the last couple of lists.

Some may say that Pearl Jam’s new album was a let down, but I’d mention that while it’s not the greatest in their discography, I really liked a good number of songs on them. Including this one a ton as I included it in my Top 10. This song to me was almost perfect to put as “Gigaton”’s opener to get you excited for what’s to come.
They showed that they are capable experimenting with some new sounds on some of the tracks and can stay relevant in a rock scene that is very different from their breakout almost thirty years ago. 22

Deeper was a nice post-punk/indie rock discovery for me this year. They are compared to BAMBARA (that are currently on the latest RMD), Moaning (from this rankdown), and bands like Melkbelly and Disq that I believe we’ve ranked before elsewhere.
Anyway, I’m going to hopefully try to get #11-20 done and reveal tomorrow. 21

Condolences go out to wheatsquares33 for losing your #1. However, in good news, peacebone needs a congrats for clearing your Bottom 10.
Hot Mulligan is becoming one of the more well-known bands in the modern day pop-punk scene as they mix their sound with midwest emo and post-hardcore. They released their third album titled “You’ll Be Fine” and it’s been highly rated by fans as they continue to grow as a band.
As for me, I enjoyed their new album enough. I’m not into their kind of sound as much as I was even a year or two ago. 20

Congrats to @humanshazam as we have another person who cleared their Bottom 10.
I got into Slotface with their debut album that was released three years ago. Their intensity blend of indie rock and pop punk along with catchy female-fronted vocals did it for me. Like other bands on this rankdown like The Bombpops, THICK, and Worriers, if you liked their sound, check them out too. Both albums are ridiculously infectious. 19

Floral Tattoo is one of the more unique bands that I’ve discovered this year with their second full-length album. RYM classifies their genres as: emo, shoegaze, noise pop, dream pop, and lo-fi indie. I can’t really compare them directly with another band, but related artists according to Spotify on this rankdown are Dogleg and Ratboys. 18

I had never really gotten into Caroline Rose’s music before, but gave it more of a chance with this new album as her fourth full-length. It’s really a blend of a lot of genres such as indie rock/pop, synthpop, and even alt-country. The rankings here show that she’s not for everyone. 17

Since I first heard the amazingness of the song “Feeling OK” back in 2015, I knew that I had to keep an eye on Best Coast and hear more. Unfortunately, I still haven’t gone through with that and this is the first actually the first album of theirs that I’ve heard in full.
I thought it was good enough. Nothing blew me away, but a nice listen of indie pop/rock and power pop that currently ranks in my Top 40 for the year so far. 16

You pretty much know what you're getting with any given Best Coast song, and that has both good and bad implications

The loser of the tie is… The Courteeners. This is due to having a lower top ranking. They’re another discovery that I had this year and impressed me with their indie rock blissfulness. They remind me of a band like The Wombats if you’re into them with some catchy tunes. 15

Dogleg is the winner of the tie as janinho ranking this at #3 puts it ahead. These guys impressed the hell out of me with their debut full-length album “Melee” earlier in the year.
It’s still in my Top 20 albums of the year with its awesome mixture of emo, post-hardcore, and pop punk. I really look forward to seeing how this band’s career goes from here as I think the best is yet to come.
I think I burned myself out on this song by the time I listened to this rankdown. Hence the #38 ranking, but still good stuff. 14
