2017, while only halfway over, has already proved a very important yeah for me when it comes to music. Not only have I found a LOT of good artists, but many of them squeezed their way into the favorites section of my CD shelves. It used to be that in a good year, I'd maybe find 2-5 new artists that I would consider among my favorites, but in 2017 it's been absolutely amazing. I partially give credit to a few good websites and partially to me realizing I don't give much of a **** about metal anymore, so I've started looking after different kinds of things instead.

Anyway, here's all of my current favorite artists, along with a note for all the newly discovered ones.

I feel like I'm going through a personal musical revolution. Apparently I really dig a lot of world music and singer-songwriter stuff. Even a tiny hint of jazz, perhaps.

I'd like to know where everyone else is right now, personal musical discovery wise - as well as what your all-time favorite artists are.

I can't see a real pattern in my own musical preferences yet, so finding new music is always hard. I can see I like female singers, but other than that, I feel like my list is a mess.
