1. William Parker - For those who are still

OK, this is an absolute masterpiece, I had been sleeping on it, but once I saw it listed here so high I gave it a whirl. And I thought The Epic was dense!

Probably my second favorite thing my William Parker, after The Peach Orchard. I'm going to have to revise my list now, as this will be Top 10. Also need to add Holly Herndon's "Chorus", since it was officially released in 2014 but there is a clause about prominent songs from 2015 albums being allowed. Plus, if it's good enough for Charlie Driggs and Jackson, it's good enough for me.

It's funny: I've been going through the top of everyone's songs' lists and listening to those I haven't heard yet. After listening to "For Fannie Lou Hamer," it instantly moved into my Top 10 of the year. I will now need to check out this album before the deadline tomorrow...

Yep, that track is incredible. Be advised -- the album is LONG. But worth it.

* This list is based (as always) on albums I've rated for the year, which basically means I've heard each of them in their entirely at least 6 times through (and some much, much more). For this reason, many Moderately Acclaimed nominations may appear on subsequent lists, but as of now they are absent because they have not gone through my rigorous (lol) ratings system (due to lack of time). As of today, I have rated 61 albums released in 2015.

Despite its #10 appearance here, I was actually a bit disappointed in the Tame Impala release. Also disappointing were Deerhunter and in fact, the year overall, which may go down as one of my least favorites musically.

Most listened-to 2015 Album (per-song basis per last.fm):
Titus Andronicus - The Most Lamentable Tragedy

Most listened-to 2015 Songs (per last.fm):
Father John Misty - I Love You Honeybear
Sufjan Stevens - No Shade In The Shadow Of The Cross

Just wanted to get this right, PlasticRam, did you mean to say that your number 15 album of the year is the Bob Dylan one or the Kendrick Lamar one?

I think we should include jwinton's and JamieW's as well.

I was caught up, but there was a last minute deluge, which is fine, there always is! It might be a couple days before I'm done.

Just wanted to get this right, PlasticRam, did you mean to say that your number 15 album of the year is the Bob Dylan one or the Kendrick Lamar one?

Oh I'm really sorry. I actually meant 10th is Dylan, 15th is Lamar.

My all-time list is a bit different, hence the confusion. It's complicated. I edited my post.
