I wanted to share my 2017 wrapped with the forum.



Don't be afraid to share what you have.

I'll share the playlists at some point (I love the "ones that got away" playlist, although it's funny they included "Wish I Knew You" by the Revivalists - I DEFINITELY know that song, because my cousin is their guitarist). Bush is an odd #1, but I did listen to a grunge playlist a lot that had "Glycerine" and a few others prominently featured (and I was in Spelling Bee, so I had to listen to that, which is why they're apparently one of my "top artists").

And this is the playlist. Ignore the Spelling Bee songs.

[Nassim]

I'm fine with that (thought it welcame me with a pictures of Sleater-Kinney which was way cooler than the RTJ fist)

I apparently spent a solid two months of my year listening to music - makes sense considering I essentially listen to music throughout the day at work. Bob Dylan takes the top spot thanks to me exploring every single one of his studio albums (and a few extras) that one time. I don't get their top songs; it doesn't match my playlist. "Say Something Loving" is the top track there.

[Listyguy]

I use both iTunes and Spotify, so most of my top artists and songs on Spotify are more current artists whose albums I haven't gotten around to purchasing or otherwise finding.

Minutes listened: 24, 756

Top genre: Rock

Top five artists:

Kanye West
LCD Soundsystem
Kendrick Lamar
PJ Harvey
The National

Top five songs:

"Heartless" - Kanye West
"Heard It In a Love Song" - Marshall Tucker Band
"North American Scum" - LCD Soundsystem
"John Wayne Gacy Jr" - Sufjan Stevens
"Mr. November" - The National

Gotta admire such funky musical tastes.

[acroamor]

Oooh man I want to play. I don't use Spotify though, so here's the playcounts from my old laptop's iTunes, which are basically a 2016-2017 wrapped as of early November.

Knowing that halfway through the year I switched to Google music and then to Amazon Music...

How do you post these images? I can't seem to share just them as such, only as webpages.

There is a function todownload the image on your computer on the Spotify website, then either join it to your message or upload it on a dedicated website and take the link from there.

Thanks, Nassim. Never noticed the attachment function before.

So, the artist list makes sense for me. There wasn't the one artist I really obsessively dove into this year, but I did listen to The Navigator by Hurray for the Riff Raff more than any other album and I also went through their back catalogue, so there you go. They also had the best concert I attended, so they are somewhat artist of the year for me. Parquet Courts and Mitski received similar extended listening by me because of concerts. Saint Etienne was artist of the year last year for me and kept going in 2017. Morricone is always on rotation here. Both of these also got a lot of help from the Moderately Acclaimed Album poll as they got far and I listen to every album again for each new round.

The song lists doesn't say much about my taste though. I'm very happy with As I Sat Sadly By Her Side. Of course, the Moderately Acclaimed poll had great influence on it's high placement, but I did listen to it a lot separately too. But the next three are purely there because of my 10.000 Songs series. I think they (and many others on the top 100) have the same amount of listens and Spotify chose my top choices here at random. Dream Weaver my number 2 favorite of the year? Not on your life. Entrance is an odd choice for The Navigator, especially because I'm sure that thanks to A Taste of MegaCritic I listened more to Rican Beach, The Navigator and Pa'lante. Oh well.

Here is my playlist. I haven't looked at it besides the top, as I want to discover it while listening to it. The top cuts are mostly from the top 10.000 series.



My recommendation list is weird. It contains quite a lot of songs I not only know, but also have heard several times on Spotify this year. I'm not used to that kind of sloppiness from Spotify.

I just want to say another thing: it's December 6, not December 31. I know critic's lists put the end of year early for reasons, but why Spotify?

sadly, I can't seem to figure out how to access this...

I had to temporarily make Google Chrome my default browser.

[Krurze]

"Rock" seems oddly unspecific...

[Brad]

OK got it...

The Spotify feature is interesting, but only captures about half of the music I play. So I made this quick lastfm view for a better representation of the past year. The Dylan entries in the song list are thanks primarily to my Christmas gift to myself last year - 38 discs of Dylan Live '66:

[Gillingham]

Minutes listened: 25.005
Songs: 3162
Artists: 415

Top Artists:
Radiohead
Run the Jewels
The National
Grizzly Bear
Lana del Rey

Still listen to 'physical' music as well, so that doesn't show up of course.

[Jirin]

Most of my physical music listening is either in the car or stuff not on Spotify.

My most listened songs this year turned out to be off Sampha -Process. Probably just because it's my favorite album that came out in January.
