I've found that If I dig a bit it's actually one of my favorites this decade. Please debate.

It's been a great year for relative unknowns, especially after AF let me down horribly at least to me (Feist, Do Make Say Think and Ulver were the only I know that I've liked enough to keep in my library so far (yet to hear Slowdive)). Agree or disagree?

Also, the collage isn't purely based on my tastes; includes some of the more well known but well-recieved "underground" and indie-popular albums this year except the last two which are my AsOTY. Haven't listened to BO, Crow, C-U, or the new Oxbow but people here seem to dig them so I put them in.
Would have included Lorde and DAMN. but couldn't bring myself to.

Please discuss 2017 music in general as well. What do you think of the year and what are your favorites so far?
