What are your favorite songs of the past year? That's the big question to ask yourself.

Music isn't like the film industry, where all the award-worthy stuff is released at roughly the same time of year; great music comes out all year round. And since there has been so much amazing music released in 2015, it might seem like a daunting task to try to narrow it all down now. But the time to compile your year-end music lists has come.

That's where The Current's staff can help. Because they sample a huge pool of music every year, The Current's on-air hosts and producers can help to remind you of great tunes and albums as you get ready to pick your faves. (And remember: You'll be entered for a chance to win a $300 Electric Fetus gift certificate and tickets to The Current's Birthday Parties at First Avenue on Jan. 27 and 28!)

As we celebrate the best music of 2016 with your votes, we'll be revealing each of The Current staffers' picks here. We hope you find these lists helpful and entertaining as you get ready to cast your votes in The Current's (second) biggest music poll of the year.
