We’re halfway to #1 on the countdown!
#15 
The Kills released a great album for their 15th anniversary. Ash & Ice oozes with their sweaty, smoky, whiskey-tinged rock and is one of the best albums about love and sex from 2016.
#14 
I didn’t expect a full record of shoegaze from the Duke Spirit, but Kin is the best shoegaze record I’ve heard all year (and probably of the last two or three years).
#13
All Them Witches released a live album last year (which I still need to get), teased a new album for this year, and started 2016 with Dying Surfer Meets His Maker – a great blend of stoner metal and blues voodoo rock.
#12 
Comacozer contacted me through this website and asked if I’d like to hear their record. I’m glad I said yes, because this stoner metal album, Astra Planeta, is amazing.
#11 
The KVB make excellent dark wave and shoegaze. It’s a bit difficult to believe at first that just two people produce that much sound. Of Desire was recorded on vintage synthesizers and sequencers, and the rich sound produced is excellent.
Who’s made it into my top 10 for 2016? Come back tomorrow to find out!
Keep your mind open.
