Twenty seventeen was a lot better than 2016 in more ways than one. True, we lost Tom Petty, Chuck Mosley, and Chris Cornell, but personally, things finally began looking up. Along the way, there were some great soundtracks to back up everything that was going on. Let\u2019s take a look back, shall we? <\/p>\n

10. The Full Counts \u2013 First Out<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Started by former members of \u201890s alt rockers Gumball, The Full Counts put out a record that record was quite different from what I\u2019ve been listening to. But I felt drawn to it and have kept going back throughout the year. Featuring a little bit of alt rock, folk, and plain ol\u2019 attitude, it is one of the more unique records of the year.<\/p>\n

Highlights: \u201c(No You) Don\u2019t Let Me Down,\u201d \u201cI Got The Time\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

9. Soundgarden \u2013 Ultramega OK [Reissue]<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

This release was one of the last things Cornell treated us to before his tragic and unexpected suicide. This record had needed some work for quite awhile, and the band really got behind how epic this record is. Soundgarden at their punkiest and most raw.<\/p>\n

Highlights: \u201cFlower,\u201d \u201cHead Injury,\u201d \u201cAll Your Lies\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

8. Dead Cross \u2013 <\/i>Dead Cross<\/b><\/p>\n

Mike Patton and Dave Lombardo playing hardcore together? Yes, Virginia it happened and Jesus, it is heavy as hell. Patton\u2019s vocals haven\u2019t been this histrionic and insane since the \u201890s. The music is driving and furious, and Patton just adds the cherry on top and proceeds to destroy most other hardcore punk that\u2019s out right now.<\/p>\n

Highlights: \u201cSeizure And Desist,\u201d \u201cObedience School\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

7. The Bob\u2019s Burgers Music Album<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Clearly the best cartoon on television right now, besides \u201cSouth Park\u201d and \u201cRick And Morty.\u201d A collection of every song that\u2019s been performed by everyone from Gene, Tina, Linda, Teddy, Jimmy Junior, and everyone else. What else needs to be said?<\/p>\n

6. Hellmouth \u2013 Oblivion<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Jesus Christ! Jason Navarro of the Suicide Machines returns with one of the heaviest punk rock records I think I\u2019ve ever heard. This is real punk: no keyboards, poppy choruses, or any of that shit. If you\u2019re looking for something to break the monotony of Fall Out Boy and Paramore, then this is the record for you.<\/p>\n

Highlight: \u201cDead In The Dirt\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

5. Foo Fighters \u2013 Concrete And Gold<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

After the mind-boggling nothingness of Sonic Highways<\/i>, Grohl and Co. return with a strong set of original hard rock. It\u2019s bands like this that allow people like me to believe that rock isn\u2019t really dead, it\u2019s just being buried under a ton of computers and unnecessary effects.<\/p>\n

Highlights: \u201cRun,\u201d \u201cThe Sky Is A Neighborhood,\u201d \u201cLa Dee Da\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

4. Dream Syndicate \u2013 How Did I Find Myself Here?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

On their first album in almost thirty years, one of the most influential, underrated \u201880s alt rock bands returns with one of the strongest collections of songs this year. Recorded in my hometown of Richmond, VA, this disc shows that the band has not changed hardly one iota of their sound. It allows listeners new and old to discover a band that should\u2019ve blown up huge in the \u201880s.<\/p>\n

Highlights: \u201c80 West,\u201d \u201cThe Circle\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

3. Ride \u2013 Weather Diaries<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Another great reunion record, coming 21 years after their last. Some longtime fans weren\u2019t too thrilled with this record, but as a newcomer, it was something that was quite outstanding and different: shoegaze, alternative, and plain rock blended together into quite a tasty stew.<\/p>\n

Highlights: \u201cLannoy Point,\u201d \u201cLateral Alice,\u201d \u201cWhite Sands\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

2. Toadies \u2013 The Lower Side Of Uptown<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

After a lackluster last record, the longtime alt rock stalwarts returned with another strong set of tracks that show they haven\u2019t slowed down at all. The songwriting is even a bit stronger this time around and everything blended together creates a record from a band that still create originals and doesn\u2019t rely on their sturdy catalog.<\/p>\n

Highlights: \u201cHuman Cannonball,\u201d \u201cMama Take Me Home,\u201d\u00a0 \u201cPolly Jean\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

1. Original Motion Picture Soundtrack – Singles [Deluxe Version]<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Without a doubt, this is the greatest soundtrack ever released! Released before Cornell\u2019s suicide, this deluxe disc is crammed full of plenty of unreleased solo tracks that truly show off how amazingly talented he was. Almost every great band of primal Seattle grunge is here and the whole package is so lovingly put together. It is definitely the best reissue of the year.<\/p>\n

Highlights: \u201cState Of Love And Trust,\u201d \u201cSeasons,\u201d \u201cWould?,\u201d \u201cBreath,\u201d \u201cBattle Of Evermore,\u201d \u201cChloe Dancer\/Crown Of Thorns,\u201d \u201cNowhere But You\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
