Top 100 Music Albums of 2016

Sure, this may be building up fast, in a way it's sort of more like a listening diary rather than a fully fledged chart for now, but I've got a bit of time for once so I figured I'll dive head first into 2016 and hopefully get more from it while I can, it's been a strong start to the year and I'm generally picking up about 2-3 new albums a day aswell as revisiting (both my favourites from this year and the past), plus I'm still fitting in time for films too (recs for those would be swell also...).
So on that note, here's some shit I've enjoyed! (The top 5 or so are pretty comfortable heading towards the final version of this, jury's still out on the rest).
Comments coming once this strays away from a listening log and moves towards a full blown chart.

Wow, 100 already. Quite a few in common and so much more to discover. I'd expect Tindersticks to make the Top 75, though:)

Probably the 2016 list that I like the most so far, lots of stuff to dig into and explore.

I think I've listened to three of your top ten, which means I've got some listening to do.
