Each week I post the Top 20 College Radio Albums courtesy of CMJ (College Media Journal). Below are also 5 discs that I have in heavy rotation and an album that amazingly turns 10 years old in 2015, I call it my Spicy 6.
After only one week in the top spot, My Morning Jacket falls to #3, as the latest effort from Thee Oh Sees takes over at #1. Three new albums make their debut in the Top 20 including the debut LP from disco extraordinaire Shamir Bailey. The other two new entries are from Jamie XX (pictured) and an extended play from Sharon Van Etten.
The sophomore effort from Lord Huron is still my #1 compact disc. Recently, the latest album from Sufjan Stevens fell out of the Top 20. Ten years ago his fifth studio album Illinois was released. Illinois is home to the only Sufjan Stevens song I think I like, let’s enjoy “Chicago.”
