So Rolling Stone have offered up their top ten albums of the first half of 2013 and half of them made my list and two of them made my top ten. Plus, I forgot about two which would be on my list (just past the 70 albums mark).
So I guess I can’t complain too hard since a few of my faves are awaiting release, and the only breathtaking omission is Laura Marling. I mean, did you expect them to name check Claire’s Diary?
The grade next to each album is mine, not theirs.
