Favorite Albums of 2017

My favorite albums of 2017, mostly without commentary. Lot of good music last year and far too much to keep up with -- so much so that this is by definition a selective list. But my listening preferences have generally gravitated towards a lot of electronic music, a bit of indie rock, and that's about it. Nothing too surprising or cutting edge. That being said, instead of ranking all the 25 entries in alphabetical order (which I usually do), I'll do most of them in alphabetical order, with the top 6 in terms of my favorites. So here's the top six:
