2016 has been a positive and inspiring year from a personal and professional standpoint. I found myself trying new things while meeting new people personally and pursuing new endeavors professionally, both of which took me out of my comfort zone and made me a better human being. 2017 is going to be another year where I take even more steps on both fronts to be the person I know I’m capable of being. The one constant through all of these life experiences this year, however, has been music. Music, specifically rock, punk and indie music, have always been my go-to through the good and the bad times and 2016 was no exception.
I listened to more music in 2016 than I have any year before and I ended up falling in love with so many varied bands and artists. I will eventually compile a list of my 10 favorite records of 2016 and write a brief summary of why each specific record made my list which will be posted on here.
In the meantime, I compiled a Spotify playlist of two songs from all of my favorite albums released this year. It amazes me that 40 albums (a total of 80 songs) ended up being on this playlist. The albums that made the playlist are a perfect combination of new material from some of my long-time favorite bands along with many albums from bands I never heard before this year.
