.Rai Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Simple as. List of what you think were among the best albums of the year.For me, in a top 10, I'd probably have, in no particular order:- The Electric Lady, Janelle Monaé- Settle, Disclosure- The Next Day, David Bowie- Pure Heroine, Lorde- Modern Vampires of the City, Vampire Weekend- Once I Was An Eagle, Laura Marling- BEYONCÉ, Beyoncé- Random Access Memories, Daft Punk- Yeezus, Kanye West- The 20/20 Experience, Justin TimberlakeBeyoncé's is a really, really recent addition to my list, but it's basically her own Yeezus moment with lots of dark R&B. It was a good year for music. Got plenty of honourable mentions too: Arcade Fire's Reflektor, Phoenix's Bankrupt!, Lady Gaga's ARTPOP, A$AP Rocky's LONG.LIVE.A$AP, James Blake's Overgrown and Jon Hopkin's Immunity pop to mind.Oh, and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's Nanda Collection. Because it's the one piece of j-pop I've really ever enjoyed, just because the production on it is glorious, and even for j-pop, it's goddamn weird as hell.

Anti-Apocryphal Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Crash My Party - Luke Bryan Based on a True Story - Blake Shelton Not really much going on here, mainly cause I favor country music and the fact that I am biased towards it. I won't really listen to other kinds of music. Then again, 95% of the music on my iPod is country, if that tells you anything [other 5% are singles, not albums].

Cin Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Can't really do Albums of the year because I hated most of the albums bands I like released this year, although Whole by SOiL was good (Mainly because I donated I got to hear it over and over before release). I still need to listen to Tantric's 37 Channels, Skillet's Rise, Alter Bridge's Fortress, Saliva's In It To Win It fully. Most of the albums I've listened to this year I'm lucky if I've kept a few songs around. Favourite Song of the year: Sick Of It - Skillet It's such a powerful message in the song, about not letting things consume you when you can still fight them off. I needed this song back in my dark days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.B. strategist Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Streetlight Manifesto - The Hands that Thieve and Bad Religion - True North are my albums of the year, as a fan of punk.

mehr672 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 My favorite is Adventures In Counter Culture by Blueprint, I find that album so amazing, very underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zauls Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Best album of 2013 IMO was The Theory of Everything by Ayreon. Never before has music left me in such an emotional state and never have I wanted to carry on listening to an album quite as much as this one. Ayreon's finest hour for sure. The blend of folk, classical, metal and electronic music makes it really really unique. The talent that was incorporated was incredible and the singers really brought the characters in the story to life. Apologies for rambling on and sounding like an over-dramatic crazy person...
