Seems like an easy task to do; However 2017 was challenging again trying to pick up what I believe it was the strongest, interesting and memorable albums of the year. As a result of this exhaustive examination, my conclusions I summarize in thirty-six categories, of course many of you will not agree with me, a few may do so, while others will be surprised and very few will not believe what they were lost, but it's okay! Here is my list with the best of 2017 by Insanity Remains, I hope you remember them, enjoy them and better yet do not forget them!
I hope to see you next year 2018, maybe with some surprises and changes in this section!
