Album of The Year - Endgame

[Joe Mac]

I agree. But she doesn’t have a bad album truly. Just an immensely talented musician.

Yeah completely agree. This and Short Movie are favourites for me but I really like everything she’s put out!

I wasn’t on board with Short Movie or Semper Femina until I listened to them a few days ago. Really good albums.

I think Parquet Courts are a better band now, but this will forever be my favorite song of theirs

Does that count as 2013? If so it should be on more lists! N. Dakota is also one of my favorites of theirs.

 

[dhodo]

One of the best tracks of the yeah IMHO:
Dark video though!

Looks like it did come out in 2012. Stupid Pitchfork putting it on their 2013 year end list and confusing me.

I think it had a much bigger reissue in 2013. Seems like it was under the radar in 2012. I slept on them until 2014.

 

[Badams]

This was a fun year to sift through:
1) Kanye - Yeezus
2) Darkside - Psychic
3) DJ Koze - Amygdala
4) Danny Brown - Old
5) Deafheaven - Sunbather
6) Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of the City
7) Jai Paul - Leak 04-13
8) Run the Jewels - RTJ
9) Waxahatchee - Cerulean Salt
10) Earl Sweatshirt - Doris

HMs:
DJ Rashad - Double Cup
Chance the Rapper - Acid Rap

Kanye, Nicolas Jaar, Danny Brown, RTJ, and Waxahatchee are probably all in my top 10 favorite artists of the 2010s (Koze is close!) and they all released albums this year.

[Wicked Dreamer]

I haven't listened to a lot of music from 2013 (and some of what I did I don't really look back on very fondly), but I was able to make a top 10 of the little I did listen to that year and still play to this day:

1. Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
2. Nils Frahm - Spaces
3. Justin Timberlake - The 20/20 Experience
4. Kacey Musgraves - Same Trailer, Different Park (thought this was a 2012 album for some reason)
5. Lorde - Pure Heroine
6. Beyoncé - S/T
7. Drake - Nothing Was the Same
8. Ariana Grande - Yours Truly
9. Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP 2
10. Janelle Monae - Electric Lady

...and here's a playlist of that year's top 100 songs (a lot of which I'm not really fond of either, tho there's some gems).
