I'd like to end the 2016 edition of ListyMcListerson with my favorite concerts of the year.  It was a record year for me, going to 7 concerts in 7 days, and 2 concert in 1 night.  It feels like I went to a LOT of shows in 2016, but when I look back at it all it was only a measly 36.

When you work full time, going to a concert on a school night makes the next day really rough. Even if they don't mention it during the show, bands recognize the fact that you chose to spend your money, your time, and your hours of sleep to see them play.

Without further ado, here are my favorite shows of the year.

Here's a partial list of non-metal albums I considered in no particular order.

• Rihanna - ANTI
  
• Waveshaper - Station Nova
  
• Snaked - Year of the Snake
  
• Above & Beyond - Acoustic II
  
• Hiromi - Spark

For reasons I've already mentioned before, I like to maintain a separate list of non-metal albums.  Although the list of non-metal albums is significantly shorter, it was way more difficult to narrow it down than the metals.  These albums come from genres that are not in my wheelhouse, and I find it harder to find the words to describe my thoughts.  After playing around with the list for about a week I finally settled on this glorious top 10.
