MOJO's Top 50 LPs of 2015

Mojo Mag

Like their sister magazine Q, the folks at MOJO are fans of Julia Holter‘s Have You in My Wilderness, naming it 2015’s Album of the Year. (It is a fine, fine choice.) For a magazine that usually has a Beatle on the cover twice a year, MOJO’s albums list feels pretty contemporary, with Kendrick Lamar, Tame Impala, Sleaford Mods, Sufjan Stevens and Bill Ryder-Jones all making the Top 10. Don’t worry, there’s room for Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, Paul Weller, Boz Scaggs and and other classic artists on the list, too. Check out MOJO‘s whole Top 50 Albums of 2015 list, below…
