A month ago I put you guys up to the task of naming your favorite albums/songs of 2013, with my annual readers poll. I got to share my favorite albums and songs of the year but now it’s your turn.
As the final step in my year end list, the readers poll is always exciting because I get to see how my tastes compare with my readers. A couple hundred of you participate and I thank all of you who did for taking the time to vote. For the most part, our tastes were pretty similar (which makes sense), but there were a few surprises here and there, and a few albums and songs that I myself missed out on. That’s the beauty of these things. There’s always new discoveries ready to be found.
This finally wraps up my best of 2013 stuff, and with this, we can finally fully push forward to the new year. With that said, here are your favorite albums and songs of 2013:
