[BreeBreeBJG]

I was so scared Caroline wasn't gonna make it 😭 CORRECT

[ashtmslf]

Danny brown having released 1.5 of my personal favourite rap albums of 2023 is pretty good conformation that even in his 40s he's still one of the most unique and creative MCs underground hip-hop has to offer

[GabeWilliams]

Love this, so much to listen to!
My albums on repeat this year:
-Unreal/Unearth - Hozier
-Stick Season - Noah Kahan
-Desire, I Want to Turn into You - Caroline Polachek
-Goodbye to All of That, 2023 - The Wldlfe
-Til the Streams Run Dry - Opus Kink
-This is Why - Paramore

[renesanchez]

The three albums I replayed the most were "This Is Why" by Paramore, "The Loveliest Time" by Carly Rae Jepsen, and "Michael" by Killer Mike. Couldn't pick a fave out of those, but I will say that watching Killer Mike perform "Michael" live this summer brought me to tears. That rap album is great.

[mentalillness]

That Caroline Polachek album is just incredible. I can’t stop listening to it and hearing new things that blow me away. I genuinely feel bad for people who don’t like it/get it.

[nikkih]

Saw Caroline live a few weeks ago and it was the most incredible vocal experience I've ever witnessed live and I saw Paramore and Evanesance this year Hayley and Amy were at peak too. Caroline is a once in a life time artist.

[IolZ]

My favorite projects gotta be:
10. Burning Desire - MIKE
9. GUTS - Olivia Rodrigo
8. History Repeats Itself - Lil Figurative
7. Lahai - Sampha
6. Census Designated - Jane Remover
5. Today I Laid Down - bl4ck m4rket c4rt
4. Voir Dire - Earl and Alchemist
3. Desire, I Want To Turn Into You - Caroline Polacheck
2. We Buy Diabetic Test Strips - Armand Hammer
1. Scaring The Hoes - Peg and Danny

[matt]

1. Unforgiven by Le sserafim - kpop girl group its a fun album every track is loud and fun and does so much

2. Scaring the Hoes by Jpegmafia and Danny Brown - a indie hip hop album with the weirdest beats and rapping and just so fun

3. Guts by Olivia Rodrigo - pop punk fun so much teen angst and just everything I wanted from a follow up album from her

4. Girl with Fish by Feeble Little Horse - Philadelphia band that's weird and such imaginative lyrics with interesting stories

5. Bewitched by Laufey - Jazz pop such a beautiful record

6. Sail the Seven Seas by Park Hye Jin- came out Monday but a Korean Techno artist in the states just interesting and fun

7. Super Snõõper by Snõõper - fun short punk album

8. Ai by Tlinh - Vietnamese artist with such a beautiful voice and instrumentation

9. PetroDragonic … by King Gizzard - kglw back at it again with an album with wild themes and it all works together

10. Sit Down for Dinner by Blonde Redhead - really beautiful record by maybe my favorite band

and some honorable mentions / Hellmode by Jeff Rossenstock / get up EP by NewJeans / In Times New Roman by Queens of the stone age / 10, 000 gecs by 100 Gecs / new dance EP by XG / both re records of Taylor but feels mean to others for her to take the top two spots

[KelseyHontz]

I love how smart Mic is about music and how obscure and ridiculous the memes he includes are, it's like a perfect combo

[educostanzo]

Caroline Polachek's album was certainly the one I listened the most this year. It really creates a sonic world of its own. Besides that, my favorite was Armand Hammer's We Buy Diabetic Test Strips, my fave rap album of the year, together with Maps from Billy Woods

[thomasimon]

The Corinne Bailey Rae album is really really good, happy to see it on the list. Saw her perform it live in November and she was unbelievable

[brookesmith]

It was cool to see The Japanese House on this list! I got to see Amber live this year and it was such a great experience.I can't stop listening to Boyhood, Sunshine Baby and Touching Yourself. I still haven't had enough time for Desire to set in for me like Pang has, but Bunny Is a Rider was one of my top songs of 2022 and Sunset has been on repeat recently. I also really enjoyed my 21st Century Blues by Raye. She also is an amazing live performer. I need to check on the new Corrine Bailey Ray, McKinley Dixon, Geese and Anohni albums. Thanks for the recs!

[songmachinedeluxe]

The new Kelela from earlier this year was by far one of my favorites, definitely recommend it to anyone out there who's into electronic, ambient, and R&B.

[lucymorrison]

all of them are Europop (not released in 2023 but time is relative)

[ksmnocreativity]

My top ten in no particular order:
Movements - RUCKUS!
Paramore - This Is Why
Fall Out Boy - So Much (For) Stardust
Leith Ross - To Learn
The Band Camino - The Dark
Wolf & Bear - Bloodletter
Pierce the Veil - The Jaws of Life
Knuckle Puck - Losing What We Love
The Maine - The Maine (self-titled)
Sleep Token - Take Me Back to Eden

Shoutouts to:
Post Profit - Self Defeater
Spiritbox - The Fear of Fear
Knosis - The Eternal Doom

[livsigg]

I will take my scrap of a Chappell shoutout and run with it! Also Hozier’s Unreal Unearth seems to be missing from everyone’s list which is genuinely baffling to me, probably his best work yet.

[OsiriasWorld]

Music is so magical. You inspired me to listen to so much music and rank it throughout this year, and Geese was so low on my lists but it’s so nice to see others enjoy it.

[foreveremerald]

My favorite projects of this year were
- Fountain Baby By Amaarae
-Javelin by Sufjan Stevens
-SCARING THE HOES by JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown
-Erotic Probiotic 2 by Nourished By Time
-Space Heavy by King Krule
-Mind Palace Music by @
-Desire, I Want To Turn Into You by Caroline Polachek
-Everything Harmony by The Lemon Twigs
-Strange Disciple by Nation Of Language
-That! Feels Good! by Jessie Ware

[daphneblake]

Desire, I Want to Turn Into You is also my number one this year. I knew very little about Caroline Polachek beforehand. I hadn't even heard So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings until maybe a few days before Desire dropped because I saw a lot of people online anticipating it so I listened to it. On a total whim, I listened to album on its release day and immediately fell in love with what I was hearing. She's now become one of my favorite artists, I even got to see her live.

My other favorite albums of the year:

2. GUTS - Olivia Rodrigo
3. Did You Know There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd? - Lana del Rey
4. With Love From - Aly & AJ
5. Bewitched - Laufey

Honorable mentions go to Paramore's This is Why, boygenius's The Record, and Joy Oladokun's Proof of Life.

[jessicaclaire]

I've been a fan of Chairlift since I heard Bruises on an iPod commercial in 2008! Met Before was another popular one here in Australia, but then when I found Caroline Polachek's first album Pang back during early 2020, I didn't even clock that it was the same person until I looked it up! I can confidently say that Sunset and Billions are two songs that'll live rent free in my head for the rest of my life. I LOVE Caroline.
