    I don't think it's been close to great. Not in the same galaxy.

    1991 was a great year. 2013 has not been.

    Bonobo! I didnt even realize they had a new album out. They're one of the few bands in whatever genre you want to call it, that I've ever gotten into...them and Thievery Corp.

    This is the first year since 2003 (when I started making annual top 10 lists) that I don't feel a desire to put a list together. I think 2013 was lackluster and only contained a few great records :?.

    With that being said... I have almost a month to finally get my act together :)

    Very nice list. Junip and Portugal could easily be on my list again if pressed to recreate it. I didn't know Mark Lanegan had a new record outside of his covers record.
