Best Rock Album of 2016

Alright rock fans, let's get our annual thread started.

I'm really digging Sturgill Simpson's "A Sailor's Guide to Earth" - yeah, I know its not pure rock and roll as he's an alt-country/americana guy with country roots, but this album is just killer.  Easily will be on my top albums of the year list.

Jeff Beck - Loud Hailer is my favorite rock album from the last few years. It should get the grammy for best rock album of 2016. It's classic JB, but also very contemporary songwriting and singing by Rosie Bones. It's political, in a political year (aren't they all now). Well worth your effort if you haven't listened to it. The vinyl in top-notch.
