As always: this list would be very different, if there was time to listen to everything that was released (in 2017).
Not exactly on script but this is a list of some of the artists we have hosted or seen this year and so the albums were new to me. It’s been really great to see and hear them live and it gives me a lot of great music to enjoy.
I couldn’t possibly pick favourites as they all have a personal connection to me. I know I have left plenty off the list.

These ones jumped out and gave me multiple hours of musical bliss! A lotta good ones here… ; )
A belated two thumbs up on your list. This stuff is outside of my usual listening tastes, but so far (about half way through) I have favorited about 80% of these albums.
The amount of music being released in 2017 is about 700% more than in 1960. So thanks for the head start. J
