Boston’s Best Local Albums of 2017

Each year, our staff comes together to highlight our favorite albums released by local artists. 2017 felt like a big year for Twitter: Be it words shared by our courageous sisters, daughters, and mothers that earned Time magazine’s Person of the Year cover, or our President’s grammatically-challenged announcements, it was impossible to avoid reading (or at least hearing about) tweets. So, we felt it was only appropriate that our albums of the year list was conveyed in the language of 2017: tweets.
