The 2017 Playlist
I listen to music all day, every day. I particularly enjoy searching for music I've never heard. When I hear a new song I like, I add it to one playlist, all year long. At the end of the year, I go through that playlist and choose one song for each artist and then cut out a bunch more so the playlist is at an even number. Last year it was 300 songs by 300 different artists and this year I've added 50% more, making the list a whopping 450 songs by 450 different artists. The list can be played from start to finish or simply shuffled.
While the majority of the tracks were released in the 2017 calendar year, this is not "A Year in Music" playlist but a playlist documenting the music I enjoyed in 2017, new or old.
Use this list as a jumping off point. If you find an artist or song you like, go check out them out! There's 450 artists with entire discographies just waiting for you! Enjoy!

Thank you for taking the time to look through this page. While listening to thousands of hours of music is endlessly inspiring, working on this playlist and website can be a chore and feels like a waste of time. But my hope is someone out there will use this page and these playlists as a way to reignite their passion for music the way they have for me. It's a true Fyre starter. Speaking of which, all of the visuals for this year's playlist and website were heavily inspired by this. See you in 2018!
