Hard to believe we’ve reached this point, but after a legitimately crazy year we’re back with another year-end Top 5 Albums episode. Join us once again as we rank our favorite albums, reflect on the year that’s passed, and try to skirt around the constrictions of playing music from artists on major labels when we’ve already got two strikes against us. We hope you enjoy our discussions this episode, and every episode, and we’ll talk to you in 2018!  (Yes we forgot to post this weeks ago, as we often do. Forgive us.) TOP 5 ALBUMS (top 5 albums.)
