Here's the link to my Discogs list of the best albums I bought that were released in 2016.
The Canorous Haunt of GothicGuru's list of 2016's best albums purchased.
I kept commenting to a minimum. It's been a crazy season and time has been scarce. I would love to have more opportunity to expound on my impressions of these albums, but life is life. Maybe 2017 will be more conducive. I was really excited by many of the bands I discovered in 2016. While this past year has had had it's low points with the number of artists lost, violence becoming a routine occurrence, and political turmoil worldwide, there has been some solace in the amazing music releases.
There are a few albums I haven't been able to buy this year that probably should have been on this list but I wanted to limit it to albums I bought. From my wishlist in no particular order:
Yoko One - Yes, I'm a Witch Too
Rumer – This Girl's In Love (A Bacharach & David Songbook)
Colin Stetson – Sorrow (A Reimagining Of Gorecki's 3rd Symphony)
Derni̬re Volont̩ РPrie Pour Moi
Black Marble - It's Immortal
The April Seven - Pop Tarkovsky
Oskar's Drum - A Cathedral of Hands
New Politicians - Remission
Soviet Soviet - Endless
And Also The Trees - Born Into The Waves
The Caretaker – Everywhere At The End Of Time
And besides the probable undiscovered gems I know nothing about...yet, this is how I saw 2016 - Anything not on this list you can assume is either something I don't know about yet - or something I am just not interested in - or one of the few records that I bought but was just not impressed with.
Goodbye 2016....Hello 2017
And Also The Trees - Born Into The Waves
The Caretaker – Everywhere At The End Of Time
Pretenders – Alone

Pigeons et corbeaux I'm still wading through your list, thanks for sharing, an obvious oversite to my list of albums I didn't get around to buying in 2016 was And Also The Trees - 2017 is looking so ripe with great music coming out right out of the gate that I am afraid backtracking isn't looking too good for a while. So much of your list was new to me so I have been looking them up and sampling when I can.
