To celebrate the new year, Dad Rock hosts Patrick Foster and Jim Lenahan invited many friends of the show to a party. The guests enjoyed some food and drinks and, one-by-one, took the mic to talk about their favorite songs of 2015.

Themes range from redemption to introspection, with styles from alt-country to hip-hop. By the end, we compiled an eclectic playlist for the ages.

And the whole affair ends with a big group singalong. ... Be sure to stick around for that!
