Allyson Johnson’s Top 10 Albums
In a perpetual state of catch up, it always seems as there’s something I’ve missed when I come to making my best albums list of any given year but that’s changed with 2016. While there’s still plenty I have queued and ready to listen to when the time presents itself, this year has been so rich in quality music that it’s difficult to be disappointed in any list people come up with. From the return of some of my favorite bands, to new artists that impressed and out of left fielders who have gone on to become new favorites, 2016 has been perfect for the music fan constantly searching for new sounds and genres to explore.
