The 50 Best Albums of 2016

 Now that we’re nearly halfway done with 2016, the time has come for your annual summer-listening list. Expect to find a tender comeback from the world’s foremost purveyors of 21st-century dread; a jubilant mixtape from a Chicago rapper looking to spread the Good Word; a sprawling epic from Manchester’s hottest export; a modest mash note from a Ramones fanatic; and a touching swan song from a singular icon.
