Welcome to The List 2016

Each year, my friend Adam and I rank and review our favourite 20 albums of the year, in a tradition that goes back to the year 2000. 

The rules are simple: to qualify, an album needs to have been released in the relevant year, be studio recorded, and full length.  No live albums, no EPs.

This is my list for 2016.

NB: a couple of the sample YouTube videos seem only to work on a computer (not tablets/smartphones).  I have no idea why...
