Modern Baseball returned this year with their new album Holy Ghost, an album which is already popping up on some 'best albums of 2016' lists. We asked MoBo for their own favorite albums of the year, and all four members gave us their personal top 10s. Sean's is the heaviest on punk (NOFX, PUP, So So Glos, Bayside), Brendan's is the heaviest on pop (Beyonce, Rihanna, Solange, Frank Ocean), and Jake and Ian both mostly have indie rock stuff. Check out all four lists below.

Modern Baseball are touring Europe and Australia in 2017, but first they'll play the Run For Cover Records Festival at NYC's Webster Hall on December 14 with mewithoutYou, Nothing, Turnover, Citizen, Basement, Crying, Teen Suicide and more (tickets). All of their dates are listed below.
