Id toss Boy George in there because its coming out as a deluxe next week. Im mixed on the KYLIE album its a litte too much "hey im sexy" i mean she has sex in 4 of the titles on the album, we get it. The Springsteen is amazing, perhaps the best so far this year. Im looking forward to also this UNDER the radar Dave Grohl record that is being hammered out with some legendary people with him, its gonna be out in the summer or sooner perhaps, but insiders say its a big allbum of the year.

I can vouch that the Elbow and Suzanne Vega projects are pretty solid. nod

The Tycho joint is... so so. shrug

Yeah i'll get the deluxe version, i bought it on vinyl when it was released initially. I think it's a very solid effort.

Get on Willis Earl Beal's new album. He has the most soulful, expressive voice in music right now!

Thanks for the heads-up! Will pick it up!

EDIT - although that album came out in Sept. 2013.

this list has little credibility for me as they didn't include beck's "morning phase"

and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

If he does I hope it's like "What were you hoping for?" It's funny because when I first heard that album I didn't like it but now it's my favorite album of Van's haha. I would love more of that sound from him.

morning phase was left off the list intentionally, because it is a ginormous snooze-fest.
