A book by a comedian that starts from the premise that 2016 is best year for music of all time had no right to be as emotional of a ride as it is. I have discovered so many good artists and albums as a result of this book and I owe James Acaster a drink for that reason. 

Perfect Sound Whatever is amazing. I read it in less than a week and found it extremely difficult to put down. I think the combination of personal stories and music recommendations is amazing, and the fact that Acaster has covered such a wide range of genres, emotions and sounds is extraordinarily impressive. 
I would recommend this book to anyone, even if you’re not very interested in music. It broadens your horizons and introduces you to new ideas and experiences, as well as giving you some to relate to.
