GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 2015

[-CC-]

Don’t we just have 2020 (and eventually 2021) left after this? This has been a multi-year project that’s almost complete. We might as well finish what we started…

We also have top 10 of the decades (90's, 00's 10's). We just did the 80's one.

@Opeth17, how's your list coming along? From your post I take it you think your list will be 10 albums that nobody else listed, so not as if I'll be waiting for you when I post a quick tally of this next weekend or so.

I can throw something together in the next few days. I have an idea so I'm not gonna be OCD about it.

Not much changed here.

I finally sat down and listened to that 92 minute behemoth Iron Maiden album the other day. It would be higher in my list if those cunts had some self-control. Just cut "Speed of Light" and "Tears of a Clown" since they're pretty conventional Maiden material anyway and you're down to 80 minutes.

So many good songs though. Don't see myself throwing it on a lot but in the right mood it's a gem.
