Well, no one seems to hate me doing this, so...

Top 8 Bands I've Found in 2018

8. Bjork (Experimental Pop)
If you don't know of Bjork, I don't know what to tell you...
Check out: "Army of Me"

7. Iglooghost (Experimental Electronic)
This is some of the weirdest, most out-there music I think I've ever heard. It's legitimately like music made by an alien from another dimension.
Check out: "Super Ink Burst"

6. BROCKHAMPTON (Hip-Hop/R&B)
The pop act that almost everyone knows of now. A total of 14 members of this group... That's more than Slipknot ever had...
Check out: "Sweet"

5. Earl Sweatshirt (Hip-Hop)
Depressing is the only way to describe Earl's music. His music revolves around his mental health and his dreary and dark outlook on life.
Check out: "Grief"

4. Kero Kero Bonito (Indie-Pop)
ケロ・ケロ・ボニートは、ポップミュージックの楽しさと子供時代の素朴さを融合させた、世界的にセンセーションを巻き起こしたバンドです。[*] SUPA GREAT!!!
Check out: "Flamingo"

3. Cursed Earth (Hardcore Metal)
Wow. This Australian metal band really understands how to make their music sound and feel primal.
Check out: "Broken"

2. Machine Girl (Electropunk)
M4ch1n3 G1rL 15 4 M4ch1n3 B01 15 4 M4ch1n3 F**k 15 4 M4ch1n3 gh0s7 15 4 M4ch1n3 g0bL1n 15 4 M4ch1n3 d3m0n...
Check out: "Status"

1. clipping. (Noise Rap)
Daveed Diggs is a treasure of a rapper and doesn't get enough credit as a supremely talented rapper. Jon [Snipes] and Will [Hutson] are also an incredible duo when it comes to making these innteresting beats for Diggs or these insane soundscapes behind Diggs' vocals.
Check out: "Body & Blood"

HONORABLE MENTIONS:
- Author & Punisher (Industrial Doom Metal)
- Zeal & Ardor (Voodoo Metal)
- Portishead (Trip-Hop)
"Oxnard" - Anderson .Paak (Funk-Rap)
"Ta13oo" - Denzel Curry (Trap Rap)
"Sweetener" - Ariana Grande (Pop)
"Pray For The Wicked" - Panic! At The Disco (Pop)
"The Misseducation of" - Lauryn Hill (Hip-Hop)
"Veteran" - JPEGMAFIA (Experimental Hip-Hop)
"Monk's Dream" - Thelonious Monk Quartet (Jazz)
"Amen" - Rich Brian (Rap)

*[Translation - "Kero Kero Bonito is a global sensation that combines the joy of pop music with the simplicity of childhood."]
