BEST OF 2016 (PART 1)

Of the 373 songs that appeared on the 18 "regular" P of A mixes of 2016, here follow the 40 that most successfully insinuated themselves into my oft-soporific, oft-sentimental, oft-sodden, oft-suicide-ideating subconscious. May they serve as ample distraction from a world gone stark, raving, mad-as-a-March-hare/mad-as-a-hatter mad. Certifiably, insane-in-the-membrane/batshit/ape-shit//loco-en-la-cabeza crazy. Crazy as a loon. Crazy like a fox. Off one's rocker. Out of one's tree. Out to lunch. 'Round the bend. One-Flew-Over-the-Cuckoo-for-Cocoa-Puffs nuts. Nutty as a fruitcake. So here come some cray-cray/bats-in-the-belfry/screw-loose loony tunes... to soothe this savage madness...
