Struggled with this year a bit. Not much that tickled my fancy, if I'm honest.

Johann Johannsson 'Copenhagen Dreams'
Killer Mike 'R.A.P Music'
Cloud Nothings 'Attack on Memory'
Calexico 'Algiers'

[Mrs64]

Lana Del Rey 'Born To Die'
Heavy Horses 'Murder Ballads & Other Love Songs'
Best Coast 'The Only Place'
Alt-J 'An Awesome Wave'

[The Subhuman]

Looks like a win for Heavy Horses which I couldn't get on with (well done Riot) and back to the drawing board as Best Coast didn't live up to bottom place hopes.

Two relatively unknown albums occupied the top two places.

Congratulations White Riot nominating a surprise winner you were right I did enjoy 'Murder Ballads & Other Love Songs', it does help if you like a bit of country music, others obviously were impressed with the Heavy Horses album.

Also enjoyed the Best Coast album Faaip

We move onto 1973, surely no one will be abstaining on this exceptional year after the disappointing 2012.

Cheers for running this Leon, I'm really chuffed that Heavy Horses won.

Big thanks to Faaip for introducing me to Best Coast

If anyone liked that Heavy Horses LP they put out another one in 2019 called With Darkness In My Eyes. Don't think it's as good as the first one, but the first track Bended Knee is a classichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzgotXJd_RA

A pleasure mate & thanks for the nudge on Heavy Horses

Cheers Leon

Yeah, I'm well into Best Coast now.

Need to get the platforms, Oxford bags and glitter make-up out again for 73

[1964white]

ALBUM OF 1973

NOMINATE NOW

[White Riot]

1973 wow, what a year for great music.

You could pick any one of maybe 40 albums and you wouldn't be wrong

But gotta go with the album my big sister bought on cassette and that we played to death for many years:

Queen - Queen

Not expecting this will get many points as it's got some incredible opposition that year.

what's up with 1963??

[andrewjohnsmith]

Dark Side of the Moon Pink Floyd

[Muppet the Cat]

what's up with 1963??

We started at 1965.

Only a few old codgers would remember any from before then

[1964white]

Dark Side of the Moon Pink Floyd

The winner I suspect Andrew

[The Subhuman]

Dark Side of the Moon Pink Floyd

Should be the winner tbh ... not their best by a distance but deemed to be their masterwork.

[Mick Jones shoulder]

Going to miss all the rock stuff which is fantastic.

63 is a very poor year for albums. Especially if you don't like jazz
