1. Beyonc? - Lemonade
"Girl, I hear some thunder" ? damn, that's putting it mildly. Beyonc? shut everyone else down this year with a soul-on-fire masterpiece, testifying about love, rage and betrayal that felt all too true in the America of 2016. The queen not only made the album of the year (and make no mistake, David Bowie would have been the first to say so), she delivered a confessional, genre-devouring suite that feels larger than life yet still heartbreakingly intimate, because it doubles as her portrait of a nation in flames.
2. David Bowie - Blackstar (it's a rock album, but the late legend said Kendrick inspired the entire thing) (RIP)
3. Chance The Rapper - Coloring Book
5. Frank Ocean - Blonde
8. Kanye West - The Life Of Pablo
10. Young Thug - Jeffery
11. Solange - A Seat at the Table
19. Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition
25. Rihanna - Anti
30. A Tribe Called Quest - We Got It from Here... Thank You 4 Your Service
32. Alicia Keys - Here
42. Drake - Views
43. Future - Evol
50. Death Grips - Bottomless Pit

Even the two songs I don't particularly care for are great songs and every song fits perfectly!
Young Thug should be #1
'Monade isn't my personal favorite style from Beyonce.
I like her a bit more urgent and aggressive. Screaming and carrying on.
But I do appreciate her trying to step outside of her box since 4. Lemonade is so musically and sonically diverse & probably her strongest lyrical album. "Pray You Catch Me" and "Don't Hurt Yourself" are 2 of the strongest songs she's ever recorded. So, even though it isn't my favorite album, she's still showing signs of growth and getting better.
"Formation" really became iconic. Between the Super Bowl performance and the music video, this era really has become what's missing in popular music. No one else really gives ERAs anymore. The way Janet and the girls did in the 90's when there were just all these iconic looks & pop culture moments that made it all so identifiable & nuanced. Even Queen in the yellow dress with the bat became a bit iconic. And these things is what her catalog has been really missing since "Single Ladies".
I prefer Self Titled's production and overall song quality, but not one of those 17 visuals really even pushed into legendary status -- even if a handful of them were really good.
I'm hoping next album she can blend the visual strength and substance of 'Monade with the commercial appeal and fun of Self Titled.
I could type all day about my Bee. :blush:
