Episode 44: Top 5 Albums of 2017

Hard to believe we’ve reached this point, but after a legitimately crazy year we’re back with another year-end Top 5 Albums episode. It’s Strictly Butter! Join us once again as we rank our favorite albums, reflect on the year that’s passed, and try to skirt around the constrictions of playing music from artists on major labels when we’ve already got two strikes against us. We hope you enjoy our discussions this episode, and every episode, and we’ll talk to you in 2018! TOP 5 ALBUMS (top 5 albums.)

Questions? Comments? Got your own Top 5 list that you feel is superior to ours in every way? We’d love to hear from you, and have a number of ways you can get in contact with us. Find and Like us on Facebook (facebook.com/StrictlyButterPod,) Tweet at and Follow us on Twitter (@strictly_butter,) Tumble us on Tumblr (strictlybutterpod.tumblr.com,) or send us an email ([email protected].) Also, please subscribe to the podcast/rate it/comment on it on iTunes, it would help us out a lot. And as always, if you happened to enjoy any of the music you heard on the show, PLEASE make sure to get out there and support the artists. Thanks for listening to us talk about the things we listen to!
