Top Ten Albums of 2013

Alright, I have dragged my heels enough on this.  There are still a couple of albums released in 2013 that I wish to purchase, but I can't wait all year to get this together.  I'm sure the same thing will happen this year that occurred last year:  I made my Top Ten list, then later bought albums that would have changed the whole list.  It happens.  In any case, I have more than enough albums from which to choose, and I believe I have finally hammered out the rankings. 

Last Year I bothered with Favorite Live Show and Live DVD, but come on.  We all I'm gonna pick Muse for that, so we'll just move along...

#10:  Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action by Franz Ferdinand
Favorite Tracks: "Evil Eye" and "Brief Encounters"


#9: Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die by Panic! at the Disco
Favorite Tracks:  "Nicotine" and "Girl That You Love"


#8: Such Hot Blood by The Airborne Toxic Event
Favorite Tracks: "Elizabeth" and "Bride and Groom"


#7: Mosquito by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Favorite Tracks: "Sacrilege" and "These Paths"


#6: Modern Vampires of the City by Vampire Weekend
Favorite Tracks: "Don't Lie" and "Worship You"



#5: Bitter Rivals by Sleigh Bells
Favorite Tracks: "To Hell with You" and "Lovesick"



#4: In Rolling Waves by The Naked and Famous
Favorite Tracks: "Hearts Like Ours" and "Waltz"



#3: The Afterman: Descension by Coheed and Cambria

#2: Opposites by Biffy Clyro

#1: Tape Deck Heart by Frank Turner
Favorite Tracks: "The Way I Tend to Be" and "Plain Sailing Weather"


And there you have it!  There were some that came very close to making it in, but I knew if I let myself choose eleven, then I would want twelve, and then it would just grow from there until I just spent this post listing out every album I bought in 2013.  :\
