First of all: Happy 2017! I feel honoured to be the first TOE to post this year and I hope you enjoy our new content.

For the past year or so, I’ve been doing Monthly Wrap Ups on my blog Another Ranting Reader  – one of my favourite things to post, as a matter of fact – and in those posts, I discuss what music I’ve been loving that particular month. Now that it’s the end of my first full year of Monthly Wrap Ups, I thought it would be fun to look back through and create a playlist for my 2016, with a few extras added in here and there.
