MY TOP 50 ALBUMS FOR 2013

As the Festive 50 approaches for the show I figured I let you know what my personal albums and singles are for the year. I didn't think I would be able to pick this many albums. But as I thought about what albums I really loved this year the list grew. This isn't about being obscure or being an indie snob, just about what albums I played over and over again throughout the year. I'm sure there will be some titles that you might not know and some might make you say "Really?" but that's what year end lists are all about. I'd love to know yours as well, comment or leave links. The singles list will follow in another post.
