I used to read NME and Melody Maker on a weekly basis back in the 1980s/early 1990s but they became too commercialised in their choices
of music coverage so I gave up on them....
I discovered what I now consider to be the the ultimate music magazines, Uncut and Mojo , both English publications.
Mojo has just released its Best Of list for 2016, as usual, I don't agree with these lists but I have respect for both magazines overall
from Mojo:
1. David Bowie - Blackstar
2. Michael Kiwanuka - Love & Hate
3. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Skeleton Tree
4. Lambchop - FLOTUS
5. Leonard Cohen - You Want It Darker
6. Iggy Pop - Post Pop Depression
7. Frank Ocean - Blonde
8. Paul Simon - Stranger to Stranger
9. PJ Harvey - The Hope Six Demolition Project
10. Heron Oblivion - Heron Oblivion
11. Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool
12. Beyoncé - Lemonade
13. Teenage Fanclub - Here
14. Charles Bradley - Changes
15. The Cult - Hidden City
16. Bon Iver - 22, A Million
17. Dinosaur Jr. - Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not
18. Syd Arthur - Apricity
19. Modern Studies - Swell To Great
20. Bob Dylan - Fallen Angels
