2015 gave us a lot of good music and a lot of bad music; I’m not sure if that’s to bring a sense of balance to the force or not, but it is what it is. As we bring 2015 to a close,we always look back and reflect on what some of our favorite albums and EPs that the year has given to us. This brings us to our annual year end Best Albums list that we’d love to share with all of you. These are in no particular order, but each of these provided stand-out moments in music for us that remained with us throughout the entire year. Sorry we couldn’t fit every album cover in our collage, but we got as many as possible in there! So, without further delay, here is our list of the 34 Best Albums of 2015! Why 34? Why not!

Duran Duran – Paper Gods: Once heralded as a “flash in the pan” in the 80s, Duran Duran has managed not only to survive, but to continue making music that is head and shoulders above most of the artists around them. Long-time friend Nile Rodgers jumps back on board as a musician and producer on a few tracks. This album leans heavier to that fun and funky side that runs deep in the band’s influences and less on the retro-80s sound.
