2016 has been a bad year for music, politics, and many other things. With David Bowie's last opus a great back to form and topping many year-end charts, it smacks of necrophilia somehow, though no disrespect to the man who dropped a platter which, in many ways, provided a grand and apt coda to his life as an artist for the past half-century. The corresponding bleakness of the state(s) of the affairs around the world across especially the two big areas which mean much to me (music and politics), is perhaps a sign o' the times (RIP, Prince). Mayhaps, music might not be a force to change and shape the zeitgeist like some earlier foregone eras, but at least, it reminds us of the situ we are in and will be in for quite awhile...
Here are my top releases of 2016:
