Best Rock Album of 2016

I agree with the new Sturgill Simpson album, very good.  I also like the new Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals "Call It What It Is".

A couple of others:

Lissie-"My Wild West"
Santana-"IV"

I'm waiting patiently for new Beth Hart/Jeff Beck album.  Should be fantastic.

Steven Wilson's 4 1/2 is pretty darn intoxicating. Cheers,
Spencer

I also like Lissie's album but Billy Gibbons ,Perfectamundo just flat out rocks. You won't find any clever lyrics or something drastically different but it is just pure fun to listen to. For current song of the year, I would select Maia Sharps "Nothing but the radio on" off her "Dash between the Dates" album which is a pretty good  as an entity.

Thanks for the Maia Sharp recommendation!  Never heard of her, but Tidal has several of her albums.

God, I LOVE Tidal!!!

Agreed,

big Ben Harper fan as well as Maia Sharp. Good to read that these guys are back!
