MOJO's Top 50 Albums of 2017
Best of the Year Season continues, having begun last week with Rough Trade Shops’ list. UK mag MOJO published their list, and coming in at #1 this year is the long-awaited return of LCD Soundsystem. They’ve also got some others that will likely keep appearing on these lists, like Kendrick Lamar, St. Vincent, The National, Thundercat, Jason Isbell, Sampha and The War On Drugs, and some things you maybe didn’t expect to see like Foo Fighters. Because MOJO publishes their list in November, they have A Tribe Called Quest‘s We got it from Here… Thank You 4 Your service, which came out in November 2016. See their full list below.
