Bruno Mars - 24k Magic

I enjoyed Andrew Jackson Jihad's cover of Bowie's "Quicksand" (Dinosaur Jr. also covered it back in '90)

Chance had a good year.

No Problem, Ultra Light Beam

Listened to those tracks a lot but I think "Famous" is my favorite song of the year. "Self Control" was my favorite track on the new Frank Ocean album. I like the new Bon Iver. Nothing really stands out more than the rest, just take it in as a whole. I've recently been obsessed with Weezer's "I Love the USA" and "L.A. Girlz".

Ultralight Beam is absolutely one of my favorite tracks of the year

I'm just a dork who chooses singles over tracks for my yearly list

12/1/2016 3:11:56 PM

I came in here expecting to see Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jessica Chastain on the list. To me, misleading thread title to me.

12/1/2016 4:17:24 PM

Does this count?

Kendrick Lamar - Untitled 06 (06.30.2014)

12/1/2016 5:09:32 PM

all of the tracks on teens of denial

12/1/2016 6:05:13 PM

I've heard of 2 singers in the OP.

And they suck.

Must be a shitty year.

12/2/2016 9:11:56 AM

Lumineers - Ophelia
Lumineers - Cleopatra
Lumineers - Angela

"Mandolin Orange - Wildfire"

Probably the best album from start to finish of 2016.

12/2/2016 3:18:10 PM

^^ that really is. The majority of those are on my best of 2016 playlist. And I love that Pinegrove made it so high because that opening track is killer. I have a hard time picking 'singles' for my own list though because id have to go back and spend time figuring out what the actual singles were.

12/2/2016 9:50:24 PM

So is a single something that was released as a single, vs a song, which was not, which is the same thing as a track?

12/2/2016 9:52:51 PM

i don't know one single song in this thread so far. maybe i should check out those 2 weezer songs.

12/3/2016 9:54:23 AM

J. Cole - False Prophets

12/3/2016 10:22:59 AM

here is the yearly post that says you can list any song from 2016 as your favorite

12/3/2016 11:32:39 AM

Sorry that the album just came out... but it already has a music video and is getting an insane amount of publicity.

Guess it needs to top some Billboard category to count.

12/3/2016 5:52:05 PM

Hope this counts.

My favorites that come to mind

Gojira - Silvera, Low Lands
Metallica - Spit Out the Bone, Here Comes Revenge
Dillinger - Symptom of Terminal Illness, Surrogate
Anthrax - Breathing Lightning, Blood Eagle Wings
At the Drive In - Governed by Contagions

12/16/2016 10:02:49 AM

That Work From Home song is pretty catchy.

Though I can't figure out how they're fucking with sheets in between them.

12/17/2016 10:15:49 PM

going by radio airplay, only one song came out this year and is therefore the best

Heathens - Twenty One Pilots
