End of 2015 album list!

End of 2015 album list!

My Top 10, in no particular order:

Blacklisted - When People Grow, People Go - Because BLACKLISTED and because it was great!

Father John Misty - I Love You, Honeybear - I listened to this record more than any other record all year.  I also sing along with it at the top of my lungs, all the time, even when I'm not listening to it.

Beach Slang - The Things We Do to Find People Who Feel Like Us - I don't like to feel feelings all the time, but this record makes me do that.

Kendrick Lamar- To Pimp a Butterfly - I believe the hype.

Steven Wilson - Hand.Cannot.Erase - Proggy goodness, but also more accessible than the last record.

Night Birds - Mutiny at Muscle Beach - Surfpunkcore.....full of catchy punk tunes.

Napalm Death - Apex Predator - Easy Meat - This record was utterly crushing. 

Earl Sweatshirt - I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside - Two rap albums in the top 10!

Sleater Kinney - No Cities to Love - Such a return.....catchy and singalongy, also fantastic live!

Blur - The Magic Whip - Speaking of returns....one of my favorites adding to their already large collection of music I love.

FKA Twigs M3LL155X - I hestiated putting an EP in the top 10, but whatever....this record was outstanding!
