Top 40 Music Albums of 2015 by Jimmy Dread

The year's almost done, and I've still got a bucket-load of stuff to get round to listening to. For now though, here's my own spin on this year's top 30-and-a-bit. Sure there's bound to be something I've definitely missed out, so leave me a rec innit (and it better be a good'un or I'll post some dog shit thru yr letterbox). A couple of nice surprises and my usual mix of obscure indie-pop that no-one seems to give a stuff about, as well as a couple of Bandcamp releases thrown in for good measure. Jimmy, January 2016

The best album Devo never made. All over in 18 minutes. Their version of Psycho Killer justifies the entry fee alone. [First added to this chart: 10/10/2015]

In a year where I lost my Mum to cancer, there's something tremendously cathartic and reassuring about this record, which in all fairness I was always going to love anyway given my penchant for all things Noah. 'Tropic Of Cancer', though, as been both a sad memento and a huge comfort to me when the whole world wasn't making any sense. [First added to this chart: 02/19/2015]
