Here is a list of my Part 1 Top Album Picks for 2017 as broadcast on the Monday Traffic Jams January 8th. Never easy and certainly not inclusive of all the music that came out in 2017. I build the list all year long with my requirements of more than half the songs have to score a 4 or 5 star by me. The songs usually have to be more rock’n than ballads since my Monday Traffic Jams should be “driving you home”. If you hear a song you like, you will enjoy the entire album….trust me!!
