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!
