2013 - the year's best music

It's that time of the year again, the time before Christmas, where I and other music nerds publish our lists of the best music from the year that's passed. 2013 has been remarkable in many ways, with incredible and surprising comeback records from acts such as David Bowie and Prefab Sprout, not to mention Daft Punk's groundbreaking new album. It has also been a year with fantastic pop music, fine singer/songwriter albums, lots of exciting stuff in what's dubbed as the more alternative genres, and so on and so forth.



Here then, are my picks for 2013. There are two lists, one featuring the 25 best albums, the other featuring my favourite 50 songs, regardless of whether they have been singles or not. Most of these also come with links to videos, so please check out anything you're curious about. They are all great.
