Throughout December, CHIRP Radio presents its volunteers’ top albums of 2015. Our next list is from DJ & Board Member Emeritus Tony Breed. My main criteria for choosing my favorite albums is how much I listened to it this year, and how much I think I'll continue to listen to it in the future. Also, every year, I call out a song of the year—a song I loved, even if the album didn't make my top 10 list. This year there's a tie, plus an honorable mention: SONGS OF THE YEAR: Veruca Salt, “Laughing in the Sugar Bowl” / Treasure Fleet, “Max Consumption” Honorable Mention: Ryley Walker, “Sweet Satisfaction” |
