2015 was a boring year for new music with me.
I am coming to the realization I am an old dad now in my mid-30's and it is a struggle to keep up with new sounds and new releases. On top of that I am continually discovering old music that I find more compelling and worthy of me purchasing (more on that in a bit).
So, in many ways 2015 was a failure as far as listening to what was released. Nonetheless, I continued to seek out "new" music, even if it was decades or perhaps centuries old.
Therefore, my best of 2015 list contains only a few new releases, and instead is more a chronicle of my listening tastes over the past year.
ALBUMS OF THE YEAR (RELEASED IN 2015)
Let's start with what I think are the greatest works released this past year that I spent a significant amount of time listening to. (You can read a more comprehensive end of year list here: Part 1 of the Best Music of 2015, written by Aubrey England here.)
