2016 will go down in history as the year of 'he died, so it's good now'
When will the supposed critical elites stop fetishizing death?
next radiohead album going to be great though

This has been a larger issue for decades though. It's the only reason anyone outside the 1990s cares about In Utero, Grace, or Elliott Smith's entire discography.

Well that was kind of the entire idea you know.

I don't care for Bowie's entry because of all the Bish-Bosch, but I can see why it is critically appealing. He didn't just make an album and then die, he made an album about dying.
At risk of sounding fairly cliché, that is probably the most metal thing that happened that year, though Dillinger and ETID put out some memorable tunes, so it's a tough decision
