By anyone’s standards, 2016 has been a pretty turbulent year. The same is true of its music, with the new breed impressing, the old guard disappointing and everything in between. But with the end of the year in sight, we’ve looked back at the past twelve months once again to pick our Albums Of The Year, the ones that have managed to stand out above everything else and assert their true greatness. Remember to click on any links to see our detailed thoughts on each album.
