2016 was a dark year with a litany of musical icon deaths. Heck, this was the year that both David Bowie and Prince stopped making music. Their passing, as well as so many others, makes the world a little dimmer.

That said, there still are plenty of people out there making great music, and 2016 was a good year for listening.
