Now It's Our Favorite Songs of 2017!!!

Yesterday i posted my 25 favorite albums of 2017, and today i've got my 100 favorite songs of the year.  My usual self-imposed rule is to keep it one song per artist (not counting collaborations), and i guess i'm going to keep doing that.  Also, every year, a couple of artists seem to sneak in last second songs before the year closes out, so you'll see a couple of tracks that actually came out the last week of 2016 on here too.  Hooray!  So, without further ado, write all of these down and go make a playlist for yourself.
