Best Of 2016 Playlist (Part 1)The Acoustic Revival

The Acoustic Revival is heard weekly on 90FM WWSP for three hours on Sunday mornings. This playlist is from the first of two Best Of 2016 radio shows.  I will host Part 2 next Sunday morning from 9-noon CST on 90fm.org.

90FM is the largest student run FM station in the Midwest, with 30,000 watts of power and covering all of central Wisconsin.  I am a volunteer and have been with 90FM since 2001.

Here is my playlist from Sundays show.  Part 2 Best Of coming next week. 62 discs all told...486 albums received and reviewed.

Qualifiers for "Best Of" same as in other years:

* Chosen from albums received, recognizing that there were many other great albums made in 2016 that never made it here.

* Chosen from albums received in 2016, and may have been produced in 2015.

* Chosen for the depth of great songs on a particular album - usually four or more that were marked for radio play.

* Chosen because I really liked them!
