0:00.0	One, three, three, four. From W be Z Chicago and PRX, This is sound opinions. I'm Jim De Regattis.
0:26.0	And I'm Greg Kot. This week we reflect on 2017 by sharing some of our favorite songs of the year in our own DJ sets.
0:33.4	You find a way way and try to hold on from as long as you can. And will pay tribute to some of the artists we lost in 2017. That's all coming up on sound opinions.
0:58.0	This is sound opinions and we'll have our DJ mixed sets for 2017 in a bit. But first Greg we have to pay tribute to some of the people we've lost this year. Many of the biggest names we covered. Tom Petty, Chuck Berry,
1:15.3	Fats Domino, Grand Heart, Walter Becker, Greg Allman, Chris Cornell, Maggie Roche.
