Best of 2017: The 100 Best Songs


THE YEAR OF 2017
Best of: part 3/3


Here we are, it’s that time of the year when I publish the list of the 77 90 100 best songs. Before recalling the rules, why would I publish such a top 100 every year you’d tell me? Well, to make a tribute to our great decade and also to give some light to all of those names who had fallen while playing their sets, to frighten our grandparents and for the seek of Love.

Created under a (very) scientific method (consisting of spending 10 hours looking at my iTunes and invoking the music Gods to make this ranking suddenly appears), this top 100 is subjective and assumed as such. And yes, to sum up an entire year of music in 100 tracks, it’s bizarre and questionable, but yet, very useful I believe. You’ll find some garage rock in it – lots of garage – but also some power pop, some bedroom pop, some punk, some folk, some stoner, some experimental rock and some shoegaze… The same rule applies as in previous years: only one track per album!

Gabba Gabba Hey, let’s go!
