Brilliant Brian, loads for me to check out that I have missed. Thanks
I tried to find a place for 'Sometimes Accidentally' on my Tracks of My Year list, but failed. Re-listening now, I realise that I should've tried harder! The Monkees just failed to make it too, although in my case it was a different track. Walter shone a light on The Monochome Set recently and I was mighty impressed then as now. I remember being very partial to Cosines and Pete Astor when you posted them earlier in 2016. I'd forgotten about Charles Bradley's Sabbath cover - I think I actually posted it over at my place as well! A tremendous list Brian, so much here for me to check out or re-visit. A couple of the names will feature prominently in my albums run-down.
Brian - you are a star!
WHEW! Brian, we have once again intersected on more than a few artist and songs. I always look to you to keep my indie side in line and I am VERY VERY happy to see one song in particular. I won't let on until I get to it as well. Hurray for ABC making someone else's top songs list!
Good stuff Brian.

Thank you so much, Drew. Got one the minute I saw your message. Nice to not be fleeced down the line.
Plenty to investigate there since I only know 5 of the songs on your list. That'll keep me busy...
Interesting, varied list. I love How Could You Leave Me On My Own, surely a contemporary classic? Sister by Angel Olsen is also one of my favorites of 2016. I’m going to give a few of the lesser known picks a listen.
Jesus Christ, and those are even better!!!! Thanks man ... !
