The House of Coxhead: Top 10 Albums of 2013
With 2013 coming to a close, and my favourite songs/remixes in the two posts below, it's time for me to run you through my top 10 albums from the past 12 months. In all honesty, it hasn't been the greatest year for full-length LPs (far too many EPs), but there have definitely been some standouts and a handful that will definitely go down as classics in the future. I'd like to think this selection covers the majority of music you have found on this site - from Pop to Alternative and from Hip-Hop to Dance. My ethos has always been to provide people with a place where they can find music that they wouldn't necessarily find elsewhere, and I feel extremely proud to have been among the first to discover 4 of the acts in this list. I hope you all had a great Christmas, and have a fantastic new year - your support means the world, and 2013 has been the best year of my life. Big. Up.
