Listen: Apple Music | Spotify | YouTube
This playlist includes my favorite songs of 2017. I encourage you to listen to the Apple Music or Spotify playlists linked above, but I’ve also included videos of the songs. A lot of them feature live performances of the songs.
For my Monthly Mixes, I have a rule that the songs are ordered chronologically by when I heard them but for my end of year mixes, I sequence for listenability—not a ranking.

Photo: The cloudy view towards Denali at The Eielson Visitor Center in Denali National Park. They say Denali is only visible 20% of the time and they have the outline of the peaks marked on the window to let you know where they would appear if you stand in a specific spot on the floor. I did get to see Denali at other times during my visit. Photographed June 30, 2017.
