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.

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.

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.  :(
