It's not technically 2017, since it came out on December 24, 2016, but my finance grabbed me run the jewels 3 for Christmas this year.
I haven't listened to much much hip hop in the last 10* years, so maybe this is already well-known, but it's fantastic.

Scanned through a good dozen in the MetaCritic best of the year list.

As many times as I try I just can't stand the rap or electronic stuff. I'm just a country boy from the prairies, let me hear some guitar or get lost.

Like the new Lorde album though and The Horrors are alright, always been interested in Annie Clarke.

My favorites of 2017:

Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes
http://www.nme.com/reviews/album/fra...rn-ruin-review

Propagandhi - Victory Lap
http://exclaim.ca/music/article/propagandhi-victory_lap

At The Drive In - Inter Alia
https://www.rollingstone.com/music/a...r-alia-w481358

Mastodon - Emperor of Sand

Nielsen’s 2017 Year-End Report confirms demise of rock ‘n’ roll

For the first time ever, hip-hop surpassed rock 'n' roll as music's most consumed genre

https://consequenceofsound.net/2018/...p=facebook-ads

It’s all the most depressing when you consider the rock artists who performed the best in 2017. They were either legacy acts (Metallica, The Beatles) or pure trash (Imagine Dragons, Twenty One Pilots).

There are clearly similarities to Creep but not egregiously so, I don't think.

I just learned that David Barbe released a solo album called 10th of Seas a few months ago. David Barbe is mostly known today as the long-time producer for the Drive-By Truckers. But before that, he was mostly known for being the bassist for the band Sugar. But even before that, he fronted two great Athens, GA bands -- Mercyland and Buzz Hungry. Mercyland's No Feet on the Cowling is a forgotten classic.

I liked "Portuguese Door" on the David Barbe record.

Little late, but somehow I just discovered this band, even though it's right down my alley and they're from Vancouver.
