Welcome to the /r/ListenToThis Best Of 2016!

With 174 albums and one for each day the post is late, we're 50 days ahead of schedule!

Albums were collected from users throughout hundreds of music subs, cleaned up, and presented with streaming links and playlists. There are no ratings, no judgments, and no opinions - only obscure music compiled and arranged for you over the course of two seven months by our dedicated mod team.

This list is meant to complement other best of lists on the internet, many of which are linked in the sticky comment below for further discovery. Albums are broken up into groups and require your attention all the way to the bottom of Set 10. There are playlists across Spotify, Youtube, and Google for each group plus a Master playlist with one track from each album so you can drink it all in at once. Note that Google links were not included for individual albums due to character limitations, but you may find them in our Google Albums playlists for each set.

Feel free to share your own picks in the replies here, and happy listening, you filthy animals.

Tired of hearing 2014 was a "bad year for music" yet? Come out from under that rock and listen to this. We'll kick off with this playlist... a little something we're hoping reddit will help out with (see the end of this post). And hey, try to watch it in order and don't jump around. Challenge yourself, we're trying for a narrative here...

• Listentothis Best of 2014 - Unpossible Mixtape Edition [everything] (2015)

Below you'll find 179 albums from 179 artists across dozens of musical genres, all with streaming links.

Entries were compiled from our polls here, aoty discussions in /r/letstalkmusic, and dozens of bestof threads from 500+ music subreddits over the last four weeks. Literally thousands of people have contributed this content. Everything here impressed someone enough to share it, others enough to upvote it, and our hipster facista listening team enough to include it. The first set contains listening team favourites. Sets are not in any particular order, nor are there any reviews. Words and rankings are wasted on music. Streams are there so you can listen for yourself and decide.

You'll also notice that most of these albums aren't on any other lists, which is intentional. If they cover it, we don't have to - what's the point discussing the order of the same 50-75 albums? We can listen to that many in a weekend. We love their recs too, but there's always more to be had. This list will provide any music lover with weeks of material. Bookmark it and take the ride, let's all find out what 2014 really has to offer. It's turtles all the way down, tonight.

Happy new year, crazy music peoples. ;)
