OITC Best of 2016
While 2016 saw the loss of many artists who are beyond influential- David Bowie, Prince, Lenard Cohen, and Glenn Frey, to name a few- it was an excellent year for music. From the return of icons of the likes of Bowie, Metallica, and The Rolling Stones, to new releases from modern sensations, such as The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Panic! At The Disco, 2016 proved to be an outstanding year for new music, making it very difficult to narrow it down.
