And my top 10 albums of 2013 are:

 

1. Public Service Broadcasting - Inform - Educate - Entertain

2. Suede - Bloodsports

3. Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of The City

4. Eels - Wonderful, Glorious

5. Girls Names - The New Life

6. Swim Deep - Where The Heaven Are We

7. Melt Yourself Down - Melt Yourself Down

8. Arctic Monkeys - A.M

9. Foals - Holy Fire

10. Franz Ferdinand - Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action

 

And here's tracks from the two albums that didn't get a single in the top 50:

 

Melt Yourself Down - We Are Enough

 

Eels - New Alphabet

Well it was obvious who it was going to be. I thought 'Night Mail' would be in here somewhere though, you must not like it as much as I thought you did!

 

I do like Night Mail, but I think it works better in the context of the album rather than as a stand alone track.

Catching up here massively.

 

Loving the #1 - the version that they played on the final of the Grand Prix on the BBC was inspired. "Signal 30" was their biggest hit on my chart this year, reaching #5 in April but nothing has surpassed "Everest" (a No. 1 in December 2012) for me yet - though the album is really addictive and a firm favourite of mine from the year.

 

Good to see Vampire Weekend (CALLED IT!) and London Grammar in the Top 10 - though I much preferred "Wasting My Young Years". Loads of tunes I've not come across and therefore new stuff for me to discover. Thanks for sharing Chris.

 

Thank you for reading, good doctor. Have you seen Public Service Broadcasting live yet? If you thought you enjoyed "Everest" now, wait until you see them play it live - you'll love it 10 times more.

Albums

 

1. Public Service Broadcasting - Inform - Educate - Entertain Gone top five on my weekly chart this week, like nothing I've heard before - in a good way! The title reminds me of one of my CD Swap titles - Accumulate - Speculate - Appreciate :lol:

2. Suede - Bloodsports Astonished that this is only #2 but your chart topper is very good

8. Arctic Monkeys - A.M A fantastic comeback, their best album since the debut imo
