Still haven't listened to enough 2013 music because I'm always like two years behind. I'm still listening to everything from 2012... yawn. Favourite songs is a good idea.

[destinyunknown]

tbh I'm on the same boat as jumpluff so I'm not going to rank the albums as I'd like to listen to some albums I haven't been able to...

Arcade Fire - Reflektor (Reflektor) A lot of people didn't like this album but I really don't know why, it was a change of direction for the band but it isn't worse by any means
Arctic Monkeys - AM (Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?) I liked this one much more than their last 2 albums
CHVRCHES - The Bones of What You Believe (Gun)
Foals - Holy Fire (Inhaler) I liked Blue Blood more but this was still good
Haim - Days Are Gone (Falling)
Laura Marling - Once I Was An Eagle // I honestly feel like I should give this 2 or 3 listens more but I liked it enough the time I gave it a spin
Los Campesinos! - No Blues (What Death Leaves Behind)
Mutual Benefit - Love's Crushing Diamond (Advanced Falconry) I usually need a few listens to enjoy this kind of music but this record just 'clicked' immediately
Nils Frahm - Spaces (Says) Not really sure how I ended up downloading this but I enjoyed it a lot lol
The Royal Concept - Goldrushed (Cabin Down Below) Catchy album, and a pretty nice debut
Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of the City (Unbelievers)

I feel guilty for not having listened to The National's album yet. I also have to listen to m b v and Sunbather and some other stuff!

 

[Alan]

Anything in Return by Toro Y Moi I don't really keep up with music, but Kanyes new album was spectacular and I liked Lorde's album that had Royals on it don't remember the name. Sorry I didn't make a list.

Top 7 Albums of 2013

1. Drake - Nothing Was The Same (Clearly, had great production, lyrics, melodies, and a seemingless transition and can listen straight through)
2 Ariana Grande - Yours Truly (This girl can sing, Album was a mix of soul, R & B, Pop and Hip Hop. The young Mariah Carey over-delivered on her debut album.)
3. Lorde - Pure Heroine ( With a hit as big as Royals, you'd think she'd be a 1 hit wonder. Surprisingly, the then 16, old a great album full of message filled songs.)
4. Beyonce - BEYONCÉ (XO) ( A great album that broke an iTunes record on most sales in a 3 day period. All songs are good to say the least. Well structured.)
5. J.Cole - Born Sinner ( Man what a great album. Every song is relatable no matter your living situation and may I add that he produced every song himself.)
6. Justin Timberlake - The 20/20 Experience ( Enjoyable music no matter what the age group or ethnic background. The closest thing to Michael Jackson today.)
7. Kanye West - Yeezus ( If you get passed the biased fans and listen for yourself, you'll see the amazing production and passion behind Kanye's messages. Good.)
