2016 was an amazing year in music! I just had to narrow down to a solid top 20 and all of these albums are incredible through a critical perspective. I strongly suggest you give them a listen if you haven’t. Here’s my Best Albums of 2015 list (which I posted last year) if you’re curious about that.
Other albums I’ve listened to but didn’t make the top 20 cut.
Thanks for the support and the messages I’ve received asking me about this list. If you have any questions or want to talk about my selections then feel free to message me!
