Check out Winter Wheat by John K. Samson. Parts of it are supposed to be a rewrite of Neil Young's On the Beach.

I should give that Minor victories another shot
I listened to once and it felt like a chore to get through
But I like the groups that compose it obv

A friend of mine told me to listen to that school of seven bells and never got around to that either

And I realize I forgot the Tribe Called Quest album, Id add that for sure

I can honestly say I have not heard one of those songs. I am old.

I guess I am just stuck in rock from the 70-90's. I just about ignore any new efforts from bands of those eras as well. I may have caught some of that new stuff on the radio in the car and may have liked it or even tapped my toe. I just don't take the time to find out it is or consume it.

Some of the stuff my kids listen to is catchy but usually short lived pop.

It's not from 2016, it's 2014, but go get Ryan Adams's self-titled album, which is as about as close to Neil Young & Crazy Horse as anyone's gotten.

2013 CSFMB ROY

well then there's absolutely nothing i can do to help you

Ryan's boy Butch Walker's release was pretty decent this year too.

La Femme - Mystère

It's pretty good. You'll feel some early 2000's nostalgia in it. If you skip the lyrical content (should be easy it's all in French) and it's about as unpretentious an album as you'll hear.

i'm going to toss in the new naked and famous's album. released, i believe, in october, but it was a christmas gift. i'm a fan of theirs, but this is their best effort. "simple forms". just a solid electronica pop album from start to finish.

Although a bit more mainstream now, I forgot to add the new Lumineers album "Cleopatra"

Saw them open up for Imagine Dragons a few years ago. Their bass was turned up so high I thought my heart was literally going to explode inside my chest. Other than that, they put on a great show.

I enjoyed

The Struts
Bastille
Saint Motel
888
Nothing but Thieves
Young the Giant

run the jewels is the #1 rap group i feel like i'm supposed to like over the last 2 years.... i'll get around to them at some point, lord knows that el-p has been solid for a long time, what with can ox and company flow and all that... hell, he even got to rap on a cut with latyrx circa 98-99, which is before they pretty much became soulless yuppies (that 2nd album was probably my biggest musical disappointment for this decade tbh)

but that said, man, when you wanna talk about the best rap song *my crazy ass* heard in 2016? it comes from a hamburger helper mixtape dropped on april fools day... FEED THE STREETS!! #SolidGoldMetaphor and all that.
