NOMINATE ALBUM OF THE YEAR 2015
While there are a few key releases left, I want to compile a list of your favorite albums this year. I think we all can agree that 2015 has been a fantastic year in music, so it’s going to be difficult to make a definitive Top 10. But somehow we managed to do it last year.
Nominate 3 (three!) albums each – Mix and match genres of your choice. I’ll start compiling a list, and in December we’ll all vote for our favorites, which is going to end up in the ultimate Top 10. Since the Has it Leaked community is diverse, it’s going to be a mash-up of different genres, from sludge metal to teen pop. But since making a list doesn’t really make any sense in the first place, let’s just go for it.
Nominations take place in the comment section below. Dupes are going to be scratched off the list, so nominating albums such as To Pimp A Butterfly a million times won’t guarantee Kendrick a number one spot.
Go!

(I also thought about Mew, Rae Morris and The Light Bright Social Hour, but they aren’t that popular. All worthy of checking though)
