Another Year...

It doesn't seem like that long ago I was compiling my 'Albums of 2016' list and looking forward to what 2017 might bring. The potential of new releases from some of my favourite bands and artists and all the new discoveries the next 12 months will bring is something that will always excite me, and 2017 certainly did not disappoint. Great new releases in all manner of genres – and weird little sub-genres – of music has made for an eclectic year of listening. In 12 months that saw new releases from Kendrick Lamar, Mogwai, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, to not feel compelled to include them in my list (each was a disappointment to me for similar reasons) is testament to the quality of other releases in their respective genres (I'm nodding towards you, Tyler, The Creator and Do Make Say Think). So, presented in order of release, here are my albums of the year: my 2017 in Music , if you like...

That's it!

So those are my picks for 2017. What do you think? Agree? Disagree? Enlightened? Angry? Think I missed something? Tweet at me and let me know!
