The best fifteen of all albums of 2016

In the world of music, the year 2016 began with sadness. At the beginning of the second week of January, David Bowie passed away just days after his 69th birthday.

The disappearance of other rock icons soon followed, as that same month we lost Glenn Frey of the Eagles and Dale “Buffin” Griffin. Before the year was out, fans had to say goodbye to Prince, Leon Russell and Paul Kantner, among others.

Fortunately, Bowie left us with a new studio album that was released just before his death. Noble Black Star, the album certainly provided a bright light for the rest of 2016 for music fans.

Here are the top fifteen albums that were released in 2016.
