This isn’t going to be a numbered list. Thinking about ranking these albums was stressing me out. This is supposed to be fun! So here are my top 17 albums of 2017 in no particular order:
- Ryan Adams – Prisoner
- Nelly Furtado – The Ride
- Ed Sheeran – +
- Lea Michele – Places
- Chris Stapleton – From A Room View: Volume 1
- Paramore – After Laughter
- Lorde – Melodrama
- Ke$ha – Rainbow
- Joan Osborne – Songs of Bob Dylan
- Pink – Beautiful Trauma
- Demi Lovato – Tell Me You Love Me
- Sam Smith – The Thrill of It All
- Taylor Swift – reputation
- John Mayer – The Search For Everything
- Maren Morris – HERO
- Lana Del Rey – Lust For Life
- Shawn Mendes – Illuminate
If I had to pick my top 6 albums of 2017 in no particular order, it would be Lorde, Sam Smith, Demi Lovato, Ke$ha, Paramore, and Pink. 2017 was a decent year for music. I’m hoping 2018 is going to be a lot better.
