Susanne Sundfør) Qzz_Bm0uaWs TECHNICALLY from 2012, but i was WELL into my EOY list last year before i even really picked up on this song. Susanne puts forward a powerful and emotional vocal over Royksopp's bleak and melancholic production, resulting in one of the more captivating progressive dance songs I've heard in a while

So when it eventually premiered- beefed up with pounding electro beats, gregorian chant sections, and an ANTHEM of a chorus, it was impossible for me to NOT be hugely impressed. It really did sound like their big breakthrough hit (which indeed, it turned out to be just that)
January 6, 201411 yr Author http://i39.tinypic.com/2cx8ads.jpg #4 The Kite String Tangle Given The Chance iWkXSCjnl00 never before did i have such confidence in a bjsc entry <3 (and i was glad it paid off!) Moody dream-pop brilliance from solo Australian producer Danny Harley (who gives a stylish yet flawless vocal performance on here), featuring a killer chorus, accompanied by a huge wave of synths (the final chorus in particular just defines EUPHORIC). Pretty much THE anthem of autumn 2k13, really looking forward to more material from this guy!
January 6, 201411 yr Author #3 Yeah Yeah Yeahs Sacrilege jmRI3Ew4BvA a tad surprised i'm putting this so high on my list, but ever since first hearing this back in Spring, it just continues to sound great! A slow-builder here, opening with a soft, whisperish vocal from Karen (while hugely contrasted by a vocal cut yelling "halo! round his head!!"), with the instrumentation kicking in to hand the song some extra pulse and adrenaline, eventually progressing towards a gospel choir, loudly chanting the track's main hook. Quite possibly my favourite from them yet! so who has the #1 spot- DAFT PUNK, or SOAP&SKIN? ;o Edited January 6, 201411 yr by SevenSeize
January 6, 201411 yr Author #2 Daft Punk Get Lucky (feat. Pharrell Williams) 5NV6Rdv1a3I one of those songs that really just defines "wide appealing", pretty much all the way from casual listeners to music critics. It's fairly easy to understand why this particular track just EXPLODED (despite the initial shock of it shooting to #1 within hours of release). A great vocal from resurging-star-of-2013 Pharrell Williams, riding amongst an utterly timeless guitar-riff groove, just one part of why this song is so endlessly enjoyable. A modern classic if there ever was one :heart:
January 6, 201411 yr Author - Anja Plaschg #1 Soap&Skin Sugarbread _xUFjl8LzmY well uh. where do i start? i guess the song can pretty much be summed up in three D's: dark, dramatic and disturbing <3 the intro especially, a woman's blood-curdling screams mixed with a pounding beat that SMASHES in, before slowly fading away, and then coming back even louder a few seconds later. Not to mention Anja's deadpan vocal performance, amongst some horns, strings and even a choir group- making everything just seem that much more EPIC. Maybe a questionable choice for a year-end #1, since i've only known it for a few months. But along with a 4-week stay at #1, i genuinely don't think there's a song that made quite as much impact on me as this throughout 2013. i can only give it my HIGHEST recommendation, and be sure to check out the music video too (for a few extra nightmares x)

January 9, 201411 yr Apart from Bastille who I'm completely bored of and Big Black Delta that's a superb top 20. Never heard your number one though, will have to change that! Excellent to see my top 3 all in the top 30 and HAERTS and St. Lucia so high too. Edited January 9, 201411 yr by RabbitFurCoat
