Chorus.fm Members EOTY Lists 2016

Here's a place for everyone to share their EOTY lists for 2016.

The Chorus.fm website contributors are hard at work at our own lists and we plan, like we did on AP.net, to post and share these on the website in early January. We will also have a special episode of Encore around the end of the year for the hosts to talk about their top 10.

Hope everyone had a great musical year and I can't wait to read all everyone's lists.

Here's the 2016 Albums thread if you need some memory refreshing on what you listened to last year. You can also make a handy playlist that shows your most listened to music in iTunes/Apple Music over the last year if you need a little help, I use something like this:

 

Spoiler on @Jason Tate's list: his number 1 is Busted.

Modern Baseball / Holy Ghost
Pinegrove / Cardinal
Touché Amoré / Stage Four
Kanye West / The Life of Pablo

Over the last 365 days, these are my most listened to albums:

 

I don't post my list until Christmas Eve out of tradition but I'm quite excited to see those who post before then.

 

I like to wait until the 31st but I have a solid idea of what my top 10 are. Extremely difficult to find an order for them, though

 

Still gots some listening to do. Want to try and post on my birthday, which is on the 11th.

 

Didn't feel like typing it out, but these are my top 15.

 

Been having a difficult time putting a top 10 together. There's a lot of good albums that were released this fall I haven't spent a whole lot of time with.

 

Off the top of my head in no order:
David Bowie - Blackstar
Iggy Pop - Post Pop Depression
Parquet Courts - Human Performance
Every Time I Die - Low Teens
A Tribe Called Quest - We Got It From Here...
Chance - Coloring Book

Those are the only albums that I feel strongly about. There's still quite a few I need more time with (Bruno, Weeknd, Darcy's, Justice) but those 6 for sure stand above the rest.
