In the wise words of Flume at this year’s ARIA Awards: “In a time of singles and songs, albums still matter.”
Suffice to say, 2016 has been an outstanding year of album releases and I can tell you it was mighty hard to choose my TOP 10 ALBUMS of 2016 but, I did. The following 10 albums have been momentous in various ways for me this year, and the 10 honourable mentions also hold weight in their own way.
Treat your ears and soul to some incredible music and lyrics. Perhaps you’ll even discover someone new and delve into their catalogue. Thus is the beauty of music.
