Top 52 Music Albums of 2017 by buzzdainer

Like most of my year charts, this one is very much a work in progress, all the more so because I'm still processing what it means to live in Donald Trump's America, and what impact that's having on the music I find compelling.

From buzzdainer 10/16/2017 02:05

Thanks for the encouraging words, Johnnyo! My 2017 chart isn't nearly as far along as yours, so I'm looking forward to checking out some of your top selections. I'm intrigued by 50 in particular, as I really haven't spent much time at all with Michael Chapman, not even his collaboration with Hiss Golden Messenger, one of my favorite bands of this millenium. Looking forward to digging in once I carve out some time to do it.
