Is there anything else you want to say about 2016 or predict about 2017?
2016 set the tone for the current trend in music. Pop, electronic, and rap is the It Thing. Many feel “rock is dead”, while that may seem the case in many top lists, there is a healthy dose of upcoming modern “rock bands” that will set the tone for when “rock does come back”.
