It Starts With a Birthstone - Albums of the Year 2016

A reminder of countdowns for albums of the year of previous years when I've done this. Commencing with 2016 when I first started. The Year Bowie died:


By no means definitive. It was just records from 2016 I like and I made the order up as I was counting down to Bowie. Plenty of good and some great stuff missing. It was a dreadful year for music deaths; a wonderful one for new music; a bewildering one for the world!
