Zo rond de jaarwisseling blikt menig muziekliefhebber terug op het afgelopen jaar en in Parkstad Popstad willen we niet achterblijven. Vandaar dat we onze medewerkers en diverse muzikale kopstukken uit de regio vroegen naar hun favoriete plaat van 2017. Onderstaand alle favoriete albums (en een aantal singles) en het antwoord op de vraag welk concert in Parkstad Popstad vorig jaar de grootste indruk maakte.
