Audiojunkie Cam's Top 10 Of 2013

Ok - so as I promised on the podcast -  

Here is my Top 10 List for 2013!

These albums are in no real particular order, because I like so many different things for so many different reasons...but I will say that The Shanks record is by far my favourite of the year. Sometimes you find something that just hits you right and connects...this was that album for me.

After we taped the podcast I checked out the Jason Isbell record that I referred to and the Daft Punk record...they both made such an impact on me that they bumped a couple other ones off the list...

Anyway - here they are...send us your lists!!

1. The Shanks - Surfing The Lexicon
2. David Bowie - The Next Day
3. Arcade Fire - Reflektor
4. Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
5. The Grapes Of Wrath - High Road
6. Blue Rodeo - In Our Nature
7. Black Sabbath - 13
8. Jason Isbell - Southeastern
9. Neko Case - The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You
10. Bob Dylan - Bootleg Series #10 - Another Self Portrait - (1969-1971)

Honourable Mentions:

- Brendan Canning - You Gots 2 Chill
- By Divine Right - Organized Accidents
