so u just want us to list music I don't get it how far back are u going to like 1830..?????


that's just to much to scope out ...........

Music that's new to you that you heard for the first time this year.

Or this, which is what I did.

btw it can be a top 50's list if you find that more desirable

Though I did a top 25.

o ok



I remember the first time I hear "Puccini Turandot" I was def not in 1926


picked up the vinyl in 2015 buried under a stack of other crap "vinyls" covered in dust LOL just cus it had a cool Picture of a Samurai on it ....

I used to make this type of list at the end of each year. It's often more telling of someone's tastes rather than focusing on just a single year's best - which too often are predicable and boring as a result of buzz and such. Granted, there's often a fair amount of catch-up from the previous year, as evidenced by the many 2015 albums in my list. Here are my 24 favorites so far, in alphabetical order:

A Frames - A Frames 2 (2003)
Acid Baby Jesus - Selected Recordings (2014)
The Auteurs - New Wave (1993)
Caustic Resin - The Medicine Is All Gone (1998)
Czarface - Czarface (2013)
Czarface - Every Hero Needs a Villain (2015)
Charles Howl - Sir Vices (2015)
Devo - Duty Now for the Future (1979)
The Flaming Lips - The Terror (2013)
Four Tet - Pink (2012)
Helvetia - Nothing in Rambling (2012)
Life Stinks - You'll Never Make It (2015)
Pinecones - Sings for You Now (2014)
Plat - Compulsion (2005)
Rival Consoles - Howl (2015)
Seam - The Problem With Me (1993)
