Dad Rock podcast counts down albums of 2015
With the startlingly vast amount of new music that comes out these days, it's nearly impossible to keep up. Scratch that — it is impossible to keep up.
So when we discover a new album with which we spend some quality time, it's a big deal. Time to shout it from the mountaintops.
On this week's episode of Paste BN's Dad Rock podcast, hosts Patrick Foster and Jim Lenahan disprove the notion that older listeners can't get into new music, counting down their five favorite albums of 2015. The picks range from straight-on rock (Thunderbitch) to Southwestern Americana (Calexico) to a rock opera (Titus Andronicus) to heady Australian pop (Courtney Barnett) to world music (Mbongwana Star) — with other styles in between.
Listen to Jim and Patrick's countdown and then give these albums a spin. You are certain to find at least one — probably more — that will stay with you for years to come.
