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.

Compared to the last few years, was this a bad year for memorable new releases? This year all my favorites acquisitions are OLD albums. Cheers,

qdrone,

I completely agree with your post of "Black Star", a "Mastrerwork"!!!

sbank,

I think it's all subjective and based upon one's personal choices?

Cheers!

Coming in #2 is The Moon Shaped Pool by Radiohead. This is the first Radiohead I have enjoyed all the way through since Amnesiac. This is a very intimate recording and like their best outings it feels like they are playing for you and you alone.
