Metal Monday: Top 100 of 2015 in Loud / Metal

2015 was a banner year full of big name releases, and we at CJLO got in on all the action. Since it's the first Metal Monday of the year, we thought we'd get ready for 2016 by taking a look back at 2015 and seeing what our DJs spun the most. This list is compiled from all the chartable weeks of the year.

Some notes for you to ponder while you read this over:


R.I.P. Lemmy: BVST pays tribute tonight from 7 - 9PM

Hey, this is Angelica from BVST. Lemmy's death this past Monday night left me, along with legions of fans worldwide, stunned and sad. The silence he leaves in his wake is deafening. In his honor, tonight's episode of BVST is going to be a bit different. Tune in to hear classic Motörhead tracks, along with songs featuring Lemmy on vocals (including some surprising covers), interspersed with audio and interview clips of both Lemmy and the many people he inspired. 
 

Bucketlist's top of the year special - today from 2 - 4PM

When our comrades over at Bucketlist asked if they could present their top albums of the year, we were more than happy to oblige them. Their staff of writers and photographers picked out their personal top 5 as well as their top song of the year and you'll get to hear them today from 2 - 4PM. For more info on Bucketlist, to check out some of their album and show reviews, and to read their collective top of the year list, go check them out at the link above.
