Honorable Mentions For Albums in 2016 (And Prior)
I'm throwing these albums into one place because it's either commonly known that I love the heck out of the albums, or they are album that have had a lasting effect on me. These are albums that were both released in 2016, and before 2016.
The Weeknd - Starboy (2016)
Perhaps one of the biggest surprises this year. Starboy has gotten the most listens out of this year, for sure.
Kanye West - 808s & Heartbreak (2008)
As it turns out, 808s & Heartbreak has some of my all time favorite Kanye West tracks on it. I wouldn't have known that had I not listened to the album, but once I listened to it, I fell in love with it. Solid release.
Big Sean - Dark Sky Paradise (2015)
In the same vein as The Weeknd and Kid Cudi in regards to being an album that I was completely surprised by, but absolutely loved. I'm diving into more Big Sean because of it.
