The U & U's 116 Best Songs of 2016 | Set 1 of 5: 116-100




Let the year in review posts commence! 

Guidelines: After one pass through all of this year's shows I had a playlist of almost 300 songs. Then started paring it down. I limited artists to max of 2 total songs from the same album on the list. Covers are included. Lead singles to be included on 2017 albums were not included. I tried to exclude songs that were previously released on an older album. It's an arbitrary list. I've already spent too much time explaining... let alone compiling. Enjoy!


116 : Nick Waterhouse : Katchi (feat. Leon Bridges) : Never Twice (2016)



115 : Matthew E. White : Cool Out (Featuring Natalie Prass) (2016)
