TOP ABLUMS OF 2016

What a year for music. From Kendrick Lamar to Beyonce. From The Avalanches to Glass Animals. From Radiohead to Bon Iver. Month after month, I was overwhelmed with the sheer number of great albums that were released. And yet, none of these or so many albums were my favorites of 2016. So what did make my list? Those albums that not only really grabbed me from moment one, but those that I was drawn back to throughout the year. Each one is something special. And, I will go out on a limb and say that together, they may represent the strongest collection of albums that I compiled in a single year in a very long time. Enjoy.
