Sooner than you realize, it will be June (or even December) and there will be hundreds of records to catch up on in contention for the always-fun "Best of Year" lists. Start early and share your favorite albums so far through January.

Here's mine. I'd love to read yours, and I'd love to know what else I should check out based on my taste below:

Silverstein
Dropkick Murphys
This Town Needs Guns
Bad Religion
Coheed and Cambria
Split - Touche Amore / Pianos Become the Teeth

If you see someone's list and have a recommendation for them, just quote it and share.

Local Natives or Ducktails. Hard to pick.

[SpyKi]

Tegan and Sara
Coheed and Cambria
Frightened Rabbit
Silverstein
This Town Needs Guns

Tegan and Sara
Biffy Clyro
Bad Religion
Senri Kawaguchi

Mogwai and Frightened Rabbit aren't out till february, but they're both great. Actually, Tegan & Sara is Feburary as well for us UK people.

[SpyKi]

So three of mine are February albums. I don't even care.

Not to say these are all the 'best ever' but these are all records from 2013 that I've taken some amount of enjoyment from:

Toro Y Moi
Beach Fossils
Ducktails
Iceage
Pissed Jeans
Falty DL
Pantha du Prince
Blue Hawaii
Piano Interrupted
Everything Everything
Local Natives
Darkstar
PVT

Thao & The Get Down Stay Down - We The Common

[Reece Wagner]

I haven't had time to listen to many full albums yet but I like that Coheed's new one seems to be knocking people's socks off.

If anyone is into folky-acoustic-Bon Iver-y Bob Dylan-y stuff, check out Moon Casale's self-titled album. Real nice.

[VanMastaIteHab]

Certainly Local Natives.
