Best Albums of 2017

2017 is officially over! We here at Cups N Cakes are proud to give you our top 25 albums of the past twelve months. As always, our aim is to highlight music from Western Canada but there are a couple releases on this list from other parts of the country because they were simply too good to be ignored. To hear a song from every album on this list, please tune into episode 099 to hear Jeff & Carey countdown these albums in order.
