The Top 50 Songs Of 2016 from the director features a pretty wide-range of tunes, including art-rock trailblazers Radiohead (“Burn The Witch”), the singular and legendary David Bowie (“ ‘Tis A Pity She’s A Whore,” “I Can’t Give Everything Away”), hip hop’s premiere artist Kendrick Lamar (“untitled 06|06.30.2014.”), post-punkers Parquet Courts (“Human Performance”), experimental pop group Animal Collective (“FloriDada”) and much more.
