Top 40 Favourite Albums of 2015

There is no such thing as the best albums of any year, just records that are considered personal favourites. This list will omit many records that did not cross my path in 2015, but from a personal perspective it is a mighty fine collection of albums that kept me entertained all year. Many were reviewed but more importantly all were immensely enjoyed. * link to review.
