Your favorite music from 2013

Here's the earlier thread that closed, by the way:
2013

As usual, you don't have to do a big list all at once. I just post stuff as I listen to it.

I also don't like to require that people stick to albums. Post singles if you like, EPs, compilations--whatever. Just limit it to stuff released in 2013.

My #1 of the year...
...Like Clockwork by Queens of the Stone Age

Heavy, dark, hypnotic, emotional, powerful. An album inspired by an extended hospital stay and addiction. Josh Homme's masterwork. One of the best--if not the best--pure rock records of the decade.

Random Access Memories by Daft Punk
Trouble Will Find Me by the National
Modern Vampires of the City by Vampire Weekend

A big d'oh from me re omitting Arcade Fire's Reflektor!! I'm losing it.

I had immediately thought of AF but then told myself the album was released in 2014 (no doubt thinking that only because I saw them on tour a couple of times that year despite knowing full well it came out the year before).
Ditto re Paul McCartney's New.

Love the albums I mentioned prior but Reflektor is most certainly my fave album of 2013. Still holds up so well, especially the run from "It's Never Over" through "Afterlife" - outstanding.
