Here are my top 20 albums of 2016. Some of the criteria for the whole top 40 list itself was that live albums, EPs, remixes of older albums and singles did not count. I wanted to make sure I was comparing “apples to apples.” These are full length albums of all new material released during the calendar year of 2016. Below is the link to the radio show that includes all of these great albums!
