"They told me there would be tea." - Mariah Carey, without tea, NewYears Eve 2017

2017 was indeed one of those years, with far too many things to lump into the "neveragain" column to list here. Alas, we kept at it, posting videos of interest (or todisinterest) nearly every day, diligently compiling a Best Of every damn monthwith approximately 270 clips, and hopefully keeping you reasonably entertained,informed, and/or distracted.

In truth, you should go (re)watch all those Best Music Videos of the Month, but I'massuming most of you aren't up for the 20+ hour binge that would require. So, here's60 videos, even though nearly any randomly chosen 60 videos from those Best Of listscould make for some worthwhile viewings. The first 10 or so are pretty much muchmy Top 10 (or so) of 2017. The rest is organized more by vibe, running through manymusical genres, levels of NSFW, good taste, bad taste, no taste, big budgets, smallbudgets, and whatever other categorical boxes you love.

So, without further mansplaining, here we go...
