Top 100 Music Albums of 2017 by 
travelful 
2017 snapshot. I enjoyed this year a lot more than others did I think. it's true the highs weren't super high, and 'DAMN' is certainly one of my weakest AOTY's of the decade. however, there were more 7's and 8's this year than usual which kinda makes up for that.
Every album I listen to will be included on here, even if I hated it. You may also notice some higher rated albums in the comments, while some albums I hated are still featured in the chart. This is because I create my yearly charts as "snapshots" of the music scene from that year. From these I create my decade charts, where you will find no filler. Basically anything rated 60% or higher I recommend depending on your tastes.
