Yesterday, I posted a list of records from 2015 that I listened to heavily in 2016. The next two installments of my favorite records of 2016 will exclusively focus on this year and the amazing music that was released this year in the punk/indie/rock world. I listened to 40 records pretty regularly at various points throughout the year. Part two of this list will be a list of 30 records that were great but didn’t make the top 10. 2016 was an incredible year for music and it was hard leaving some of these records off the top 10.
