Best of 2016…So Far
Another amazing year in music despite an absurd election, and pretty much global nuttiness….lest great albums pop up.
These are in no real order (well yeah alphabetical, but I do rank just some emphasis on listen frequency)
Remember I do not post live albums, soundtracks, various artist compilations or reissues and e.p.s, though the list would be triple.
Happy listening and feel free to post comments, missed hits, “are you kidding me’s” and remember listen to more music than you watch tv.
Looking forward to 2017 with new beck, surfer blood and maybe just maybe a Siouxsie record.
