Best of 2016 lists – A Compilation

     There are bloggers who discourage year-end lists of Indie music. We are fans of the practice. Each year, we visit the lists of other bloggers and discover music that we would otherwise have missed.

     Below are our recommendations of “Best of 2016” sites. The list of sites will be updated as we find more to recommend. So, if you share our enthusiasm for year-end reviews, check back.
