The end of the year is connected with the classic “best of” lists for the past 12 months. What we have here is something similar focusing on the best albums released in 2015 (although some went beyond that) as chosen by 24 artists Greeks and international, singers, guitarists, bassists and drummers… We asked them to choose their 5 albums they enjoyed the most (although someone came up with 6! we know how hard it is to chose, so we allowed it!) in random order and here are the results. Enjoy…
