Christmas just passed and the last days of 2015 are all that's left of what turned out to be a stellar year in music. No time in recent memory has there been so many potential album of the year contenders. So, this edition of the Weekly Tune-Up is all about my top 15 albums of 2015 (in no particular order), as presented via my favorite track off of each. It was very difficult to narrow it down to a mere 15 albums, so I based my final selections off the albums that felt the most complete and, of course, that stayed in my heaviest rotation. As I've mentioned in past WTUs, Tame Impala's Currents has remained at the top of my Best of rankings since its release, but after that, it's all becomes a toss-up. This year proved a rewarding one for us music heads, and 2016 has a tall task in achieving what 2015 managed to accomplish so seemingly effortlessly. (Check out more Best of Lists in music here.) Happy New Year, all!
