Best Albums of 2016

[Jokester]

Really struggling this year to come up with anything I've heard other than maybe:-

Bastille - Wild World
Just continued on where they left off with their debut.

So what have people been into this year?

 

[marc2003]

Niki & The Dove - Everybody's Heart Is Broken Now
Little Scream - Cult Following
Shura - Nothing's Real
Agnes Obel - Citizen Of Glass (forgot to mention this until I saw it a few posts down. )

Really wanted to add the latest Bat For Lashes album as she's my favourite artist by miles... but I can't. It really is below par for her.

The Breath - Carry your kin

[G-MAN2004]

Not really heard too much this year, but loved the albums from Chilis and Radiohead. Maybe throw The Weeknd, Richard Ashcroft and Feeder in there too, although they weren't as strong as I had hoped for. Overall though, A Moon Shaped Pool is probably top for me.

 

[Magik5]

Two standout albums for me are:

Frost* - Falling Satellites
Katatonia - The Fall of Hearts

Awesome music from two awesome bands

 

[Cosimo]

Blue & Lonesome - The Rolling Sones
