Well, the Grammy announcements come out tonight, and as usual there aren't a lot of artists that will be nominated that I spent much time listening to. Here is your chance to toss some bouquets to some artists you thought put out some solid work this year and maybe turn someone else on to an album they aren't familiar with. Feel free to list honorable mentions if you feel it is warranted and didn't make your top 5. The Head and The Heart -- Let's Be Still Jim James -- Regions of Light and Sound of God Local Natives -- Hummingbird City and Colour -- The Hurry and The Harm The Avett Brothers -- Magpie and the Dandelion Pearl Jam just misses the cut. It was solid but not one of my favorites this year. Actually my most enjoyable album of the year was Bob Dylan's Bootleg Series #10 Another Self Portrait (1969-71). I won't count it since the music is 40 plus years old. Some great unheard cuts and arrangements. They did a really great job with this double disc. |

Marshall Mathers II My Name is My Name Watching Movies with the Sound off Born Sinner Yeezus (Edit: Good Kid Maad City came out in Oct of 12 but really had a lot of juice in 2013 and would be my number 2) |

Oh, FUCK the Head and the Heart. I finally hit Campfire Bullshit Critical Mass on that band. At least "Ho Hey" has a hook. Weak year for me after 2012, which had a lot of stuff I really liked. Bad year for albums, good year for songs. Camera Obscura - Desire Lines Phil Angotti - Life and Rhymes Lorde - Pure Heroine Minor Alps - Get There Low - The Invisible Way New stuff from Arcade Fire, My Bloody Valentine, Daft Punk, Pearl Jam, and David Bowie all disappointed me. So hey, if you'd like to recommend anything between now and the 31st, feel free to help me out here! EDIT: oooh, Bagels, tell me of the new Tim Hecker. I loved Ravedeath 1972. |

I really want to find out that the rest of the Tired Pony album is as good as "All Things All at Once," but I suspect it won't be. I mean, at the end of the day, it's just the guy from Snow Patrol. Hell, the name even sounds like Coldplay! |

And Low has been around for years. I didn't even like them much before this album. Thanks, producer Jeff Tweedy! |

2012: Curious Hair wrote: I've heard good things about that Lumineers album. Two people said it'd be up my alley. So far: The Mountain Goats - Transcendental Youth John K. Samson - Provincial Tindersticks - The Something Rain Regina Spektor - What We Saw from the Cheap Seats The Magnetic Fields - Love at the Bottom of the Ocean What's telling about this list is that these are all artists I've been pretty committed to for some time. No one new making the list. My only new album by a new artist is Tramp by Sharon Van Etten, and while I love "Serpents" and the fact that the cover is a direct homage to John Cale's Fear, I'm not all that taken with the rest of it. Haha, how far I've come on the Lumineers. If only I knew what I was getting into. Pretty bummed there was no Mountain Goats, Wilco, Tindersticks, or Weakerthans this year. If they all come out with new stuff for 2014, it could be very interesting. |

Never heard quite that reaction about what is a fairly innocuous band. I thought it was a nicesophomore effort from them. The least favorite track on the album for me is "Shake" that got all the radio play. I knew you weren't a fan of that one from a previous post. Oh well. |

I still need to hear Cronin's previous efforts. |
