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.

NIN w/ David Bowie "Back In Anger"... Vol 2

Honorable mention and a damn good lp!
Bowie - Black Star is great
Wilco Schmilco is also great
Sturgill Simpson - all of his stuff is great.  

Sadly, great rock albums are becoming more and more scarce these days.  Or maybe I'm just getting old and stodgy.  :(

Maybe not "rock" but definitely one of the best lps of 2016.. Leonard Cohen "You Want It Darker".

Absolutely, and so poignant.. Another LP I very often play is David Gilmour's 'Rattle that lock', very masterful..
