Festive 95

This Year It's A Festive 95

This is a countdown of my favourite Indie Pop bands of 2017, a bit of a surprise to see The Bluetones at the top, but I took a real shine to there back catalogue, some absolute quality artists in the list, 261 atrists made it onto my Indie Pop compilations this year, of those only 95 registered two or more tracks and qualified for my festive countdown.

This year I've started Scrobbling with LastFM and I'll be comparing the results with the my festive 95

Last year it was a Festive 85 and the Fronteers topped this list, this year they don't even make the list, not because I don't like them anymore, but because they've not released anything new. Anyway here's the list:
