What are your picks for the best albums of 2013?

Here's my top 10 so far in no order:

- Nine Inch Nails: Hesitation Marks

- Gogol Bordello: Pure Vida Conspiracy

- Steven Wilson: The Raven That Refused To Sing

- Black Sabbath: 13

- Buddy Guy: Rhythm & Blues

- Daft Punk: Random Access Memories

- Queens Of The Stone Age: ...Like Clockwork

- Bruce Soord / Jonas Renske: Wisdom Of Crowds

- Queeensryche - Queensryche

- Sound City: Real To Reel


Before I get pointed out that an album I recommended isn't out yet, Hesitation Marks can be heard in it's entirety on iTunes right now.

I don't have my collection on hand right now (in the middle of moving so my hard drive with all my music is packed away somewhere) so I don't remember what came out this year as opposed to last year (my memory for that shit is horrible) but these three came to mind immediately:

Pity Sex "Feast of Love"
El-P and Killer Mike "Run The Jewels"
Kanye West "Yeezus"

My husband loves the new Daft Punk, which for some reason surprises me.

I'm looking forward to Eminem's new one which comes out 11/5. Love the single Berzerk.
