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.

Listened to the new Peter Wolf Album last night.  "A Cure For Loneliness".  A little different from his past few albums.

More on the Americana/Bluegrass/Country side of things, but still pretty damn good.

He does a Hillbilly/Bluegrass version of "Love Stinks" which is...well...unique.
I think Ray Lamontagne's Ouroboros is outstanding. It's an actual album not just a collection of songs. 
They just started playing the snot out of the new Radiohead release on WFUV here in NY and now I'm finally not confusing them with Coldplay any longer...and I like what I've heard so far. 

Surprising even myself I discovered a Radiohead cd in my collection that I don't remember buying.  Then again Lucinda's release a little while back bears mention as well. 


Heard a cut off of the new Santana on the radio the other day...don't remember the song's name but the lyrics were horrible! I know of one lp I won't be buying.
