Favorite Recordings Of 2017
Posted: 2018-01-01Choosing my favorite recordings of the year is a self-induced ordeal for me. I am such a picky bastard. If an album is not perfect, or close to perfect, I can't put it on the list. There are a few albums, not listed here, that I thought were really good but lacked that little something after the early excitement wore off.
I have a feeling that the 2018 list is going to be even more painful for me to put together based on what I know is already coming. Music/sound is a good thing. So bring on the pain!
