Bon Iver -- 22 A Million I only purchased a handful of albums this year and this is the only one I would recommend. Looking forward to trying some of the albums you have listed above Bagels, next week Tuesday through Thursday is Penske File time and I would love to try some new tunes. |

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 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. |

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. |

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 Twenty-One Pilots The Struts Bastille Saint Motel 888 Nothing but Thieves Young the Giant |
