Only 8 albums worth ranking for me so far. They're ones I expect to go back and listen to after the year is over. I've listened to more albums, but I don't have the time I used to for sitting down and really digesting albums. I'm either partial to past favorite artists or whatever can catch me on the first listen. Maritime isn't even out yet, but the 4 singles have me convinced it will likely be my third favorite album of the year.
Some of the songs listed are from albums I've listened to, but couldn't rank. Also, I'll probably split the songs up by genres at some point, to make the list less overwhelming to look at.
