Some would have you believe that Beyoncé or Coldplay or maybe even Radiohead put on the best shows in 2016 (probably a couple for LCD Soundsystem, too). If they’re talking about making money, then yes, those artists definitely did. But, judging shows purely on the music, these were my 10 favorites of the year.

Jenny Lewis and The Watson Twins at Chicago Theatre
