Shreddit's Top 5 of 2017

Welcome one and all to the SECOND quarter of voting for best album of 2017. We have been doing quarterly voting for a few years now and at least I feel its a great way to keep up with new music as well as seeing which albums are year long blue blood contenders versus the nouveau riche November upstarts. Please use this either as a way to track new music, vote for new music, or bitch about music not being on there despite not voting. Just kidding about the last one.

#Please Vote for 5 of your favorite releases in 2017

#VOTING:

Please put your list at the top of your post with JUST the band name. Like so:

Band 1

Band 2

Band 3

Band 4

Band 5

...

Underneath can be all of your explanations but for collecting data I just need the band name. No album. No numbers. No Record Label. No explanation for that first section. This will make updating easier for me. I will not count your vote until much later if you do not put just the band name up top.

EPs and Demos are included. Splits are alright as well just give me the just the band names alphabetical with a "/" between them. I will be updating this in the morning and then at night both Saturday and Sunday.
