Re: EOY 2015 Predictions

Re: Musikexpress (Germany): The Best Albums 2000-2015
Surprising number one considering this isn't a British publication. Really glad about the inclusion of Push the Sky Away and a Wild Beasts record, though not one I would expect. And if I'm not mistaken, this list has zero entries for 2014 or 2015, which is disappointing.
