Best Rock Album of 2016

..in that she harnesses her pain, to achieve an lp that the end user feels her pain and becomes one!

Sorry if you don't get it.

Beth Hart... "Better Than Home".. her (swan song), IMO!

Haven't heard anything since.

Ozzy: If "painful" means GREAT!, I concur!

Agree with Spencer on the latest offering from Steven Wilson. His band Porcupine Tree is a must listen as well but isn't exactly 2016.

Beth Hart is painful!

Yeah, she's painfully WONDERFUL!  One of my favorite female vocalists.  Sorry if you don't like her, but hey, haters are gonna hate as the kids say...

Beth Hart is painful!

adding Pete Yorn's "ArrangingTime" to our list 

Agreed,

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

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

God, I LOVE Tidal!!!

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.

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

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.

Oh cool thanks for that rec. I love his other release!
