So, yeah, this is a little late and I’m not even sure if anyone out there actually reads these every year BUT, never-the-less, here is my current, ever changing list (seriously, the order probably changed 8 times since I wrote this sentence) of my favorite albums from 2015:
1. Kendrick Lamar – To Pimp A Butterfly
2. Courtney Barnett – Sometimes I sit and think, and sometimes I just sit
3. Nothing But Thieves – Nothing But Thieves
5. My Morning Jacket – The Waterfall
7. Wolf Alice – My Love Is Cool
8. Nathaniel Rateliff and The Night Sweats – Nathaniel Rateliff and The Night Sweats
9. The Weeknd – Beauty Behind The Madness
11. Florence + The Machine – How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful
13. Half Moon Run – Sun Leads Me On
15. The Lone Bellow – Then Came The Morning
18. Alabama Shakes – Sound & Color
19. Gary Clark Jr – The Story Of Sonny Boy Slim
20. The Arcs – Yours, Dreamily
There you have it! One more yearly list in the can. I’m sure I left off tons of great albums I haven’t heard yet and ordered some albums way higher or lower than I should have but that’s the beauty of my list…it’s mine. Come at me Internet! I love you.
