As 2017 wraps up, I’m once again looking back at the music that came out and organizing it as a list. The following albums are ones that I feel are most significant. This means an un-scientific combination of: groundbreaking new musical direction, memorable, captivating, and fun.
The exercise of looking back to see if there were musical trends or styles that stood out is fun by itself. But even more so I look forward to sharing it out, and hoping that people find something new to listen to.
