    Sorry there's not more rap, I've just been listening to Flockaveli on repeat, which is from 2010 and therefore doesn't make the list.

    also, I really liked Justin T's 20/20 experience Volume 1 but Vol 2 sucked so hard I can't really include vol 1.
    I liked the Nine Inch Nails album way more than I thought I would.
    This new Snoop & Dam Funk record (7 Days of Funk) will definitely be a favorite (it just came out this week)
    Kanye's "Bound 2" one of the best songs of the year.

    Dawn of Midi made me excited about music in a way I have not felt in a really long time: Still can't wrap my head around their crazy rhythms.
  • UncleBoatShoes2011UncleBoatShoes2011
    I gotta say though, "NEW" music was such a low percent of my listening this year.
    like 15% id say
  • swamp_knobbler_mahanswamp_knobbler_mahan
    Me too. Didn't listen to a ton of new stuff. That Pusha T is good! Gonna check out some of the other stuff on yr list, haven't heard most of it!
  • MirandaJulyMirandaJuly

    I listened to Bombino a lot this year but I haven't heard the record that actually came out this year.
    The new Opaon EP is really amazing.
    I bought the japanese edition of the Nick Krgovich album, I really like it.
    New Yo La Tengo is great
    both Lake albums
    The new Lonely Forest record
    The Blow self-titled
    Weird new DC band called Acme
    Rjyan Kidwell - Prosperity = really good
    I probably won't ever listen to Yeezus.

    The best single of the year? Easy.

    Make It Happen

    Just $0.99.
  • kdawgkdawg
    Oh, also, the album "Woo" by Maximillion Dunbar is really good. Uncle Boat Dude, I could see you getting into it.
  • distant_shoedistant_shoe
    no one said daft punk
    no one said kendrick lamar, tho i guess it came out late 2012


    i listened to yeezus a whole bunch, and the kendrick a whole bunch. listened to the daft a whole bunch but it had no staying power. same with yeezus. however dense and complex after i memorized them, i sorta stopped listening. that kendrick record had more emotional personal depth, plus that dre executive production

    i skipped the drake and pusha t records
    i just still cant feel drake at all and found his songs and antics annoying, and pusha record i wanted to be more weird like the one track numbers on the board or whatever

    no one mentions e40, who seems to be having a hot year
    i fuck with this song, which seems very post-#based




    also that young thug picachu song was funny

  • distant_shoedistant_shoe
    this was pharrel's come back year, but this shit he made with busta is just fucking BAD

    Drake looks like he smells like the diaper aisle at the grocery store.
  • UncleBoatShoes2011UncleBoatShoes2011
    My claim to fame is uploading the first version of that Young Thug song to YouTube! THATS MY CHANNEL, BABY!
  • MirandaJulyMirandaJuly
    If I worked at Instagram, I would definitely have a playlist of all the rap songs that mention Instagram.

    @ALAN_FROGTOR Agreed about Daft Punk. Very brief.

    I am somewhat into newer Danny Brown from 2013, and the Childish Gambino album is pretty good.

    But 2013 faves:
    Pusha
    Yeezus
    Pre-Human Ideas
  • the_owlsthe_owls
    I think 2013 was the year I finally got into pop music. TSwift et all. Why did I resist for so long? Amongst the garbage is cool garbage, and actual cool songs.
  • MatthewMatthew
    OH AND: Earl Sweatshirt - Doris

    That's what happened to me a few years back, owls. I started listening to pop radio in the car and was like "I think I actually like this music more than the 40gb of obscure indie and electronic music in my iTunes." It felt like a return to my roots, before I turned 13 and started seeking out music no one else knew about.
  • distant_shoedistant_shoe
    oh shit @uncleboatshoes2011 !!!! thats your channel!!!!!
  • distant_shoedistant_shoe
    grammys
  • MirandaJulyMirandaJuly
    That Metallica performance at the end sounded like one of those YouTube videos where they replace the audio with someone playing really badly.

    I'm really looking forward to the Grammys this year!

    I love music and the Grammys are the way that people who know music the best award the best in music!

    Does anybody know when the Grammys are on?
  • kdawgkdawg
    The Metallica was bad!

    I enjoyed watching Carole King.
