12. Obtain 40 albums in a single year (Year 1)

So, the last day of 2013 and I thought I'd share with you my list of albums I obtained during the year and how I obtained them.  I had to get hold of at least 40 albums this year because I present an annual "Top 50 Albums of [insert year here]" radio show at Northwick Park Hospital Radio.  This isn't an official top 50 - this is my personal top 50 which I like to share with those who care to listen.  Feel free to comment below about what your favourite album of the year is and why.

The Civil Wars
The Civil Wars
Bought

As you will see from the list, I technically obtained 50 albums - 44 of these I did actually buy.

The Civil Wars are my number 1 album because I'm a sucker for amazing harmonies, great melodies and good lyrics.  Despite the fact they're currently in a "civil war" themselves it's still a superb album.

Year 1 is DONE!

Looking forward to some amazing album releases in 2014. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR READERS!
