Hello fellow ATRLers, your favourite OP-making, music info-leaking #indieheaux is back! This is my second Best Of, although the previous one was a bit rushed and in result flopped miserably (on a brighter note, I wasn’t really active until participating in this best of thing and it made me realise how fun ATRL is ). This time, however, everything is well-thought and I’ve prepared everything in advance. What to expect? Well, 2016 has been pretty great, at least in music, so I made six different lists – three to start off the thread (20 best music videos, 30 best album covers, updated 2015 recap), one transitional (honourable mentions) and two main (30 best albums, 50 best songs). Everything that made my lists has been released since January 1, 2016 till now, which means songs released last year that appeared on this year’s records aren’t included. Hope you bear with me, comment frequently and enjoy this as much as I am
