Here it is, the publication of the best of 2017 finally begins. As always, I’ll start with the best EPs, the best artworks, the best videos and… with some statistics. Tomorrow, I’ll start publishing the top 20 of the best LPs of the year, and I’ll finish with the 100 best songs (on Thursday). Love, xoxo.

- Australia has literally exploded in 2017 and this is THE biggest event of 2017, just see how many excellent releases were putted out, including: Vacations, Brad Pot, Dune Rats, Le Pine, Moistoyster, Skegss, Nun of the Tongue, White Bleaches, Chillers, Dennis Cometti, Wavves, Neighbourhood Void, Lunatics On Pogosticks, Wax Cactus, ORB, Boy Germs, The Vacant Smiles, et bien sur, de King Gizzard! What a mess, the U.S. are almost down!
- I was saying, last year, that 2016 was the year of slacker. Well oh well, with these Australian bands + our American friends, slacker is THE KING of 2017! The reason? Because it’s the CORE of what rock’n’roll should be: fun. The 2000s were about garage, about getting back to something raw. Now that it’s taken for granted, here’s the slacker as a major movement of the years 10’s. I’ll keep talking about it, FOREVER?!
- Jizz Jazz and bedroom pop are doing so well that they might become a genre as recognized as it was in the 1990s. The novelty is the appearance of Martian pop – after the spectral pop of Alex Calder. We’ll see where it’ll go. Cut Worms might be the leader!
- Everything has to be politically correct (yes, PC). Our interview with Dream Machine caused a “global scandal”, and I don’t think the Weinstein affair is going to help anything. Watch out, more is coming, 2018 will decimate bands, labels, tour managers and more. But for now, the post-Weinstein era has reached several artists reviewed on Still in Rock (including Alex Calder and Ducktails, to which we can say bye bye for a long time).

And to conclude, here are few of the most important things that happened for Still in Rock in 2017:
