2017 has been an amazing year for everyone who likes rock, punk, metal and hardcore. It almost seemed an impossible task to select only the best albums that were released this year. That is why we let our whole editorial team pick 10 of their own favourite albums. This was the only way to compile a comprehensive list of the 50 best albums of last year. The list was of course much longer than just these 50 works of art but in the end we had the difficult choice to choose only the very best. Here you can see all of them in the right order.
