The two weekends of Coachella happen April 13 – 15 and April 20 – 22.

From Perfume Genius to Kendrick Lamar to Power Trip to Julien Baker, here are our 50 favorite albums of 2017.

On this week’s show we look back at 2017 with songs from LCD Soundsystem, Glassjaw, Vince Staples, Bjork, King Krule, The National, The Feelies, Kendrick Lamar, Slowdive and tons more.

Usual suspects like Kendrick, SZA, and Lorde, and some more surprising stuff too.

NPR Music’s list includes tracks from Cardi B, Big Thief, King Krule, Drake, Harry Styles, Father John Misty, and more.

Drake, Lana Del Rey, Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Lorde, Julien Baker, Bjork, Fever Ray & more crack Pitchfork’s 50 best albums of 2017 list.

Kendrick Lamar appears on the list four times, including at #2 for “DNA.”… can you guess who beats him for #1?

Long-running music blog Gorilla Vs Bear’s year-end lists are always pretty different from your average Best Albums list, albeit in a way that fits in with its trippy dreampop tastes. Their 2017 top spot goes to Yaeji for her pair of 2017 EPs…

As usual, the list is heavy on rap and R&B, but there’s some other stuff in there too, like Phoebe Bridgers at #2!

NME have Liam Gallagher in the top 10, the polarizing Arcade Fire album, and a very highly-ranked Wolf Alice in their top 50 albums of 2017.
