There is a love/hate relationship I’ve grown about year-end
lists. I used to look forward to them, and lately I am finding myself dreading
them, but at the same time deep down I really feel obligated and enjoy putting
them together. For time’s sake, and so I can continue on discovering more great
albums I am going to list them in order through 50. These are all vinyl records
(minus a couple that are coming soon to vinyl and I will have) While compiling
the list not only did the rankings change daily and lots of swapping back and
forth, I tallied damn near 100 records I bought that were released in 2016 not
counting the ones I forgot because I know they’re hiding in my shelf. Here it
is:
