Top 30 Tracks of 2013

I might as well start this off with a couple best of lists. Here are my favorite songs from the year, roughly. I'm sure I've forgotten one or two and I limited it to one song per artist, not quite sure why. But I’m not going back in there to change it!

30. Oneohtrix Point Never - Zebra

29. Pissed Jeans - Cafeteria Food

28. Baths - No Eyes

27. Austra - Home

26. Devendra Banhart - Mi Negrita

25. Daft Punk - Get Lucky (ft. Pharell)

24. Youth Lagoon - Dropla

23. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - We Know Who U R

22. Tyler, The Creator - Awkward

21. Haerts - Wings

20. Postiljonen - Atlantis

19. The National - Sea Of Love

18. Queens Of The Stone Age - If I Had A Tail

17. Earl Sweartshirt – Hive (ft. Vince Staples & Casey Veggies)

16. Jai Paul - Track 3

15. ANTWON - DARK DENIM

14. Fuck Buttons - Brainfreeze

13. Phosphorescent - Song For Zula

12. Unknown Mortal Orchestra - So Good At Being In Trouble

11. Foxygen - San Francisco

10. Majical Cloudz – Bugs Don't Buzz

9. Deerhunter - Neon Junkyard

8. A$AP Rocky – Long Live A$AP

7. Danny Brown - Side B (Dope Song)

 

6. Chance the Rapper - Acid Rain

5. Ducktails - Under Cover

You can bet your peeper this song will be playing my future wedding.

4. Local Natives - Heavy Feet

This album has been slowly creeping up on me all year...

3. Kanye West - New Slaves

No song pumped me up as much as this one did this year. Kanye is six albums in and he's still releasing consistently incredible music. If you can separate the ego from the musician (which you should, you're probably adults), I think it's safe to say that Kanye West is the best rapper alive.

2. Rhye – Last Dance

 

1. Drake – Hold On, We’re Going Home (ft. Majid Jordan)

I can't think of single track from this year that grabbed me quite like this one did. Speaking of "Wedding Songs", this is one of my five favorite songs about love ever. Maybe I should make that list?

Other amazing songs in no particular order…

Rhye - Open

Kanye West - Blood On The Leaves

Jackson Scott - Sandy

Ty Segall - The Man Man

A$AP Rocky - Wild For The Night (ft. Skrillex)

Queens Of The Stone Age - I Appear Missing

Chvrches - The Mother We Share

Disclosure - Latch

Daft Punk - Doin It Right (ft. Panda Bear)

Pusha T - Numbers On The Board

Vampire Weekend - Step

Boards Of Canada - Come To Dust

Local Natives - Breakers

Earl Sweatshirt - Sunday (ft. Frank Ocean)

Foxygen - No Destruction

Deerhunter - Back To The Middle

Black Atlass - Paris

Devendra Banhart - Never Seen Such Good Things
