James Acaster: Music's best year ever - 2016

"I bought over 500 albums from 2016... and if I list my favourite albums now, most of them were released in 2016" - British comedian James Acaster writes in his new book 'Perfect Sound Whatever', and names Beyonce's 'Lemonade', Frank Ocean's critically-acclaimed 'Blonde', Kanye West, Radiohead, David Bowie's final studio album 'Blackstar', and some much more obscure albums. Acaster says overall it was a significant year for evolution and innovation in music, and that we need "to stop this writing off of modern day music, because the rules for what was the best year for music of all time keep getting made by old people", BBC reports.
