Default The 2017 Music Thread

The forums being shut in 2017 is not a reason for not talking about the amazing releases fo that year!
I will not post a long list of my favorites because I'm interested in what you guys have for me
instead I'll drop some of the thing I remember I liked when they come to my mind
starting with this:

I have goosebumps everytime I listen to his low note on the second stroff

these past years I became obsessed by RnB/Soul o.o

This is what I quickly wrote on a similar JPS thread a few months ago.
The albums by Cornelius and Phew are my two favorites this year. Fellow veterans Ryuichi Sakamoto and Mondo Grosso also released some excellent music.

Korea's Neon Bunny, OOHYO and Oh Hee Jung didn't release much this year, though what did come out was all wonderful.

I wish the producers/songwriters at tapestok records had been more prolific as well, but at least we got the recent ame to kanmuri album from them.

I really liked the albums from Leah Dou and Gutevolk. Don't know much about Neuchan, but do know I enjoyed her album. And this year's Recoride certainly deserves at least a passing mention.

Tentenko's latest is a current favorite.

Of course there were excellent albums by Seiko Oomori and Maron Hamada, but you ought to already know that.
I later realised I left out a couple of things, but now I've forgotten what I forgot.

As most of you know, I run my own blog now (and write for Arama when I feel like it)

Here's last year's Top 20 according to me:

20-16
15-11
10-6
5-1

I prefer her previous album, but this was for sure one of the best japanese releases of 2017!

OMG
I also love Neon Bunny, Leah Dou and OOHYO, but I haven't checked their 2017 releases yet
I will do it as soon as I have space in disc again ;o;

And I will include DG's blog in my annual checking of "best of 2017" lists
haven't done that yet for 2017

As I am in Turkey, I might as well reveal to you guys that people here are crazy about music, like, if I turn on the tv there'll be almost 20 different tv channels with only video clips showing (and most of them of turkish music)
Anyway, there are lots of catchy stuff and some good things:

Ersay Üner was the first turkish artist that made a good impression on me, in the moment that I heard this song on the radio for the first time I started to consider going deeper into turkish music to find more artists like him:

He is also the composer of this song, which is now one of my favorites, I sing it everyday in the shower:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeDBZpT7-RI
PURURURURURUUUUURUN~
PURURURURURUUUUUUURUN~
porororororoooronnn~
porororororoooooronnn~
(that's how I sing the instrumental melody, I don't speak turkish)
