Top albums of 2016

records2016

This has been a great year for albums, although I haven’t had as much time to listen to them as I would have liked to. There hasn’t been one given favourite this year, so I have actually listed 50 records this time around. The top 10 is the same as the list I contributed towards the complied end-of-year lists at HYMN. So without further ado, let’s dig into it.
