Over at Vulture.com, the entertainment news website from the team that publishes New York magazine, a list of the top albums of 2016 really capsulizes the year in popular music. The biggest sellers are represented, but there’s a few lesser known releases on the list, too. When possible, I’ll include links to CDs in the library catalog, along with versions of the albums at our streaming service Hoopla. In our modern digital media landscape, some albums are not available on CD, even those by the most popular artists. In those cases, you’re on your own.
