Top 100 Music Albums of 2017 by Arthurknight

In 2017 I committed to my first year of making an end of year top 100 list, and consequently tried to listen to as much music as possible. Since then, I've changed the original decision to reflect a few things, my less radical desire to promote more esoteric choices, hating on popular things for no reason, and some things have lasted more than others. Here's my original note (or part of it):

"I thought I'd actually do one this year, and it's been quite a fulfilling experience sort of putting my head down and listening to music a little bit more critically than usual. That's not to say I didn't listen to these albums for pleasure either though. 2017 produced some very moving albums, ones that - in cases - do not allow for a critical ear at all. Anyway, this is what I bring to the table."
