When I get round to it, I suspect two of those will be in my top ten (I haven't heard the other three).
For me, Resident's is more representative of better material than the other two that have thus far been posted on this thread, but perhaps that's got something to do with the fact that I buy most my music from there.

If that's your shortlist I must check out Kelly Lee Owens

Nothing has knocked the Planetarium Album off the top spot for me this year, and it's nice to see it creeping into the back end of some of these lists. It was an absolute car crash live though.

The Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile album is effortlessly marvellous.

If you like the idea of something that sounds a bit like Grouper experimenting with rhythm and beeping, go for it! I find it very enjoyable. She's very good live as well. On an unrelated subject, have you seen these reissues coming out in February?

I was thinking about which albums I enjoyed this year and realised that most of the music I've loved listening to in 2017 came out in 2016.

Should probably try harder in 2018, which I feel could well be a general motto the world should adopt.

Have to say wasn't that impressed by Residents choice - especially Julie Byrne at #1. In parts its a dull album. If they wanted to pick female singer / songwriter genre as the standout then Aldous Harding (rough trade #1), Jen Cloher, Jane Weaver, Courtney Marie Andrews and Kelly Lee Owens all more interesting and complete albums IMO. Both their #2 and #3 are bands who have reformed in 2017 and arguably their previous albums were more complete pieces. As per others amazed they really didn't like the National album and left it out. While not as "catchy" as the previous two albums clearly must not have heard it performed live (check out the you tube Paris live concert). Also surprised given his return to form that Ryan Adams Prisoner is so far down their list. 2017 not a stand out year for new music for me - have spent most of my year returning to the Bowie sets. If I were to pick one album that actually offered something genuinely new I would go for the Snapped Ankles album (that did make their top 10)!!
