    Mikal Cronin - MCII
    The National - Trouble Will Find Me
    Boards of Canada - Tomorrows Harvest



    I have so many that could be top 5 by the end of the year. Making a Top 10 list for the year is gonna be tough. 2013 has been such a killer year for music.

    1. neko case - the worse things get, the harder i fight, the harder i fight, the more i love you
    2. of montreal - lousy with sylvianbriar
    3. pearl jam - lightning bolt
    4. the national - trouble will find me
    5. janelle monae - electric lady

    4 and 5 make it by default. They probably wouldn't have made my list if I had heard more albums this year. Just been really busy with life, and generally apathetic towards hearing new music. 1-3 are feeling like classics though.

  • only a few of you guys have some variety on your lists. I never understood people who listen to only one genre and make a list like this. How can you make a top albums of 2013 list if you only listen to rock?

    What a fuckin egotistical post.... :roll: I've seen some of the crap you post about and you have the nerve to diss what people have posted as their personal faves? Get real dude. You don't have to drool over Arcade Fire, Kanye and Justin Timberlake to have good taste in music. Then you don't even have the manners to educate us on what a qualifiable list would be.

    What does it matter how many genres are represented? The thread title is "Your Top 5".

    Besides, there are plenty of styles that fall under the rock umbrella that one can make a pretty diverse list using only rock music.

    Nah. I just think theres alot of great stuff released every year and in 2013. The National, QOTSA, PJ, AIC and Arctic Monkeys arent the only bands that released stuff this year.

    Sure its "your top 5", but as I said, if you stick to listening to one genre, seems pretty narrow stuff. Its like if I listed my top movies of 2013 and they all were comedy movies. Sure there were some good comedy movies this year, but if thats all you viewed, how can you make a judgement about whats out there?

    Might want to actually read the post before spouting off.

    I find the lists so far boring. QOTSA, AIC, PJ, MMJ, all on every list. Thats some seriously boring groupthink going on.
