Radio HANS Top 40 - 2017

There was a pretty decent amount of exciting new music that came around in 2017. Some of it happened in the mainstream, but most of it - and the best of it - happened well below the surface, in the lesser-known areas of the music world.  What follows is a list of forty of the songs that most moved me in 2017. Some of them come from blockbuster artists; some of them don't; all of them are awesome. This list is whittled down from a much larger cache of songs and there are a lot of songs that probably should have made this list but didn't. But it is what it is and this is one hell of a group of kickass songs. You can find all on Spotify and I suggest you do.
