Surprisingly, 2017 saw a lot of really great music releases. So much that I will be posting not only a end-of-year best albums list, but also this one. This is a list of releases that did not make the favorites list but we really good and, in most cases, were probably releases that fell under a lot of people’s radars (some of them I did not even discover until late in the year). This is a list of 25 albums (or EPs) that were released in 2017 that you might not have heard and definitely should have. I have them listed here in chronological order by date of release.

Enjoy!
