and i don't mean the critically acclaimed hipster choice

or whatever, just the album that you ENJOYED most of

all this year. the one you can't stop listening to.

.

my choice would be Lorde "Pure Heroine". man i love

that album. listened to it all the way through about 50

times by now. and i like every minute of it.

.

haven't seen her mentioned here on the org yet, or i've

probably missed it. maybe you never mention her just

because you don't care or hate her

.

whatever. tell me which album you ENJOYED most this

year and let's see if that can make us all check out an

album we haven't heard yet this year.

Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke.It's one of the few 'new' albums that I bought in 2013.I mostly listen to old school music Robin's album is filled with jams,never really slowing down until the last few tracks.I like that.I needed some great uptempo jams and Robin delivered.

Sugar Ros- Kveikur
Drake- Nothing Was The Same
The National- Trouble Will Find Me
Rob Zombie- Venomous Rat Regenaration Vendor
Arcade Fire- Reflektor
Janelle Monae- Electric Lady
Kanye West- Yeezus (It's still mixed on some parts, but overall it grew on me)
Daft Punk- Random Access Memories

Sugar Ros for sure with Born Sinner behind it. And Janelle in 3rd place

I bought way over hundred CDs this years

...however ....only a handful are from 2013, so not much to choose from but even if it' not a lot, it is still a tie, can't decide between those two. so ask me again on Dec 31st

The only 2013 release I own so far... (and I like it )

Gotta be New by McCartney, RAM by Daft Punk or Janelle's Electric Lady.

I go with Electric Lady due to the anticipation & the style.

The electric lady( janelle monae), random access memories( daft punk)..

I still need to listen to the next day by bowie, I don't know why...I kinda liked the reflektor by arcade fire but not like the electric lady and random access memories..

other honorable mentions but not really mainstream: pushing against a stone( valerie june), silence yourself( savages),and some others that I'm surely forgetting at the moment..

I love that a lot of music critics put my albums in their charts..but I don't approve the overhype for kanye west and haim records I'm seeing around( in these charts)

basically every music critic is snubbing born sinner and hyping kanye..I'd like to know why..

Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of the City.

Eight months later and I still can't stop playing it. It's fast becoming one of my favorites of all time. I always loved these guys, but wasn't expecting this kind of album from them yet. Phenomenal!

This probably won't be on any of the critics' lists, but the album I listened to this year the most was Girl Talk by Kate Nash.

It's Lorde or Vampire Weekend for me.

Arcade Fire - Reflektor

The Electric Lady - Janelle Monae

that's a lot of cd's you bought

to be honest, i've never even heard a single song by Mayor Hawthorne,

it's just one of those names i keep reading and think "i should probably

give that a listen". but now I will, especially since you put that album in

the same catagory of greatness as janelle's album - which is really good!

I think there's an actual grey bit on my computer's hard drive

where "Step" is filed i just kept it on repeat for hours and

hours and hours. it just happens to by my favorit but that is a

very good album indeed.

I could listen to 'Step' 20 times a day for the next year and still not tire of it.
