Best Rock Album of 2016


Alright rock fans, let's get our annual thread started.

I'm really digging Sturgill Simpson's "A Sailor's Guide to Earth" - yeah, I know its not pure rock and roll as he's an alt-country/americana guy with country roots, but this album is just killer.  Easily will be on my top albums of the year list.

Downloaded it first, then bought LP copy of Elaenia by the Floating Points. Love it! Amazon reviewer compared it to Miles Davis (thats why I bought it), he was way too kind! However, for those of us who still listen to the Tubular Bells, this may be an interesting catch. 
Drive-By Truckers "American Band" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm happy to say that this effort is their best so far and even though it is on ATO, it sounds great!
Black Star from Bowie gets my vote,he left us an enduring gift and legacy. R.I.P.
