Well another year has drawn to a close, which means it’s time for all the ‘best of’ lists in music to emerge. Most of the heavyhitters (Pitchfork, NPR, etc.) have already weighed in at this point, and now it’s time for CokeCanPoetry to toss in our humble, synth-doting hat as well. This year we’ve pared down our list to a selective top 20, which have been conveniently collated in a Spotify playlist below. Yes, we aim to please. Of course, you can click on the artists links for individual past entries as well.
It should be noted that these picks are representative of great records in general, and that selecting the best track is subjective and even arbitrary in some cases. That is just to say that we suffer from an “utter conflict of love and duty” in assembling these best-of lists, as Inverted Audio so aptly put it. In any event, enjoy these tunes anew — plus our top five remixes of the past year below. Thanks for listening and following along with CCP in 2015!
