The Best Albums of 2017, According to Us

"I don't know what I was expecting from Harry Styles's solo debut, but I know I definitely wasn't expecting to love it this much. Free from One Direction's strictly pop sound (as lovely as it is), Styles's self-titled debut album is like the modern-day love child of Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney. Between intimate tracks like 'Sweet Creature' and the rollicking 'Kiwi,' Styles has thoroughly established himself as one of music's most exciting new rock stars." — QK
