with the notable exception of NO contribution whatsoever for 2016, in the past i've listed my take on the best albums of the year. i do prefer that format so perhaps i'm afforded the time for its return next december. still, in the mish-mash of the daily grind i found a lot of good songs the past 12 months and dumped them all into a 2017 spotify playlist.
157 songs in some semblance of order from meh to best. sure, i probably missed a couple....that happens every year, but even my past lists get additions throughout the year. so check them all out. i'm here. however, if you just want the red meat, the top 25 reads like so:
25) look like that- sneaks 24) antarctica- the luxembourg signal 23) pretty prizes- parquet courts, d luppi, karen o 22) crisis- sextile 21) asktell- lina tullgren 20) energy- b boys 19) proactive evolution- why? 18) baby blue- wolf parade 17) hot thoughts- spoon 16) pink white house- priests 15) on the roof- mo kenney 14) misremembered- fred thomas 13) a night in chinatown- hott mt | 12) face tatt- ho99o9 11) the combine- john maus 10) demon in profile- the afghan whigs 9) this time- wire 8) time's been reckless- marika hackman 7) raw materials- metz 6) nocturne- mark lanegan 5) cover me- depeche mode 4) the static god- thee oh sees 3) time to live- ariel pink 2) lazarus online- wolf parade 1) the same thing- tica douglas |
