I was happy to be able to participate for my fifth(!) year now. You can view my ballot in full here or here (the latter features my past ballots and some really interesting stats that Mr. McDonald devised), but below is a quick recap. I'm already second-guessing a few omissions and I'm fairly certain that my final 2013 best of the year list won't look just like this, but I still stand by what I voted for back in December. These are ten terrific albums and ten terrific singles. Consider this a sneak peek of my full lists for 2013, yet to come.
