You think? My personal favourites of his have to be curtain call and the original MMLP although there are some absolute corkers on the 2nd LP.

James Blake - Overgrown
QOTSA - Like Clockwork
Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
Atoms For Peace - Amok
Kanye West - Yeezus
Arcade Fire - Reflektor
Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of the City
Sigur Ros - Kveikur
Dj Koze - Amygdala
Disclosure - Settle
Bastille - Bad Blood
Arctic Monkeys - AM

Pretty strong year for music, though that could be down to my favourite bands/artists releasing new material this year. I think the Vampire Weekend tops my list, some really catchy and well written songs on there. Or maybe the Daft Punk. Both were on continuous repeat as I added the finishing touches to my dissertation.

Actually good shout about Bastille, bought it ages ago, but only just had it on in the car the other day.

OhEsEcks · 4 Dec 2013 at 21:44

The one I've listened to the most this year has to be Olafur Arnalds - For Now I Am Winter. So probably that for me. Chvrches - The Bones Of What You Believe comes in a close second though.

Alter Bridge - Fortress
Avenged Sevenfold - Hail to the King
Bastille - Bad Blood
Black Sabbath - 13
Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
Eminem - MMLP2

Can't think of anything else off the top of my head, but it's been a fairly good year.

a1ex2001 · 5 Dec 2013 at 08:30

For me there is really only one contender:

David Ford - Charge

glenimp617 · 5 Dec 2013 at 08:36

Now 86

HumanShield · 5 Dec 2013 at 10:28

Alter Bridge - Fortress
Black Spiders - This Savage Land
Dinosaur Pile-Up - Nature Nurture

Sure there has been more, but these stand out right now.
