UPDATE - FAVORITES OF 2017

same deal as last year's list, a bunch of good stuff didn't make the cut, a bunch of good stuff i just couldn't find the time to sit down and recommend, and that many more that i probably slept on or otherwise missed, still i think i got out more recommendations this year than i might have first guessed - i think about half of the tapes and most of the non tapes are still available from their sources and/or usual distros
