altERNATIVE 2017

The title of the list is mostly a result of me trying desperately to be clever with my username, but it's also rather accurate, since I had to add quite a lot of these to the database in order to make the list. The number of entries is not a nice 50 or 100 or something not because these are all the albums I've heard this year (far from it) but because I only wanted to include the REAL GOOD stuff here. Everything is tagged by genre and linked so hopefully will be of use. Cheers
