Fran's Top 10 Albums of 2017

This Top 10 is a bit of a tradition for me.  If there is one thing I have learned from having OCD, it is that traditions are important.  I started doing this four years ago and even though I am now writing for i99 Radio, I am bringing my top 10 back to My Music, My Concerts, My Life.  Although these are merely my opinions, I stand behind my selections - which are largely based on my listening history throughout the year.  Feel free to agree or disagree, but either way sound it out in the comment section.  I now present to you Fran's Top 10 Albums of 2017.

Fran's Top 10 Songs of 2017 (So Far...)

It is that time of the year again where I prove to you that my musical taste is no better than that of a 14-year-old girl.  You'll be able to tell my selections this outing are more influenced by mainstream, adult-alternative radio. I've also used my listening stats from Apple Music, which is a first, and I'm a little surprised I listened to some of these songs as many times as I did.  Regardless, I hope that some of these are in your Top 10 as well.  Without further ado, please enjoy my Top 10 Songs of 2017 (So Far...).

14 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs For The Trenches

Little known fact about me:  I'm addicted to makeup.  It's my crack but at least it helps me look and feel prettier, doesn't rot my teeth, destroy relationships with everyone who loves me, and make me look 87 years old prematurely.  When you're Sephora VIB Rouge and the girls (and fabulous guys) who work there ask you where you've been when they haven't seen you in a few weeks, you start to realize you may have a problem.  Emphasis on the word "may."

Album Review - Foo Fighters / Sonic Highway

I love all types of music.  There is nothing better than a pop beat that can make you move your body.  But a song that tells a story moves your mind.
