We listened to a lot of music this year. Here are the best albums my ears have heard. Almost all can be heard on Spotify (spotify.com) on your computer or phone.
If you like what you hear, please buy it. Music can be purchased on ITunes or at Other Music on 3rd Street in New York City. Paying for musicians’ creative work is critical, otherwise people will have to stop being creative in order to survive.
Enjoy the EAR CANDY!
