I know its late, and most folks have gone back to work but here is the – an hour of SOME of our favourite tracks of the year.
However there is no way we could possibly do justice to all the great new music that came out in 2015 in one podcast – and we didn’t really fancy doing four or five hours’ worth of shows – so here is an alphabetical list of all 55 of the albums in our Top Fifty Of 2015.
If there’s any we’ve missed then please let us know and we’ll add to the list accordingly – the idea is to get something a bit closer to that impossible and dubious goal of “a comprehensive selection”.
