Let’s face it; 2016 was a dumpster fire of a year. Except when it came to music. Metallica and Megadeth released new albums, for God’s sake!
We asked our on-air jocks to give us their top 5 favorite songs of 2016. In one case, it was just favorite songs to listen to this year, and not necessarily from this year.
Metallica and Megadeth both received some love, as well as Ghost, Deftones, Meshuggah and…Marshmello(?)
