There seems to have been a few threads lately saying how bad modern music is. However, I think there have been some cracking albums released this year if you look outside the charts, including
Tape Deck Heart - Frank Turner
Wonderful, Glorious - Eels
We Met At See - Pigeon Detectives
Birthmarks - Born Ruffians
Strange Pleasures - Still Corners
Plus, new albums on the way by Vampire Weekend and Sam Duckworth/Get Cape, Get Cape, Fly
So altogether, a promising year so far!

Our Beloved Bubble - Pete Roe
It's going to take more than an album by the Pigeon Detectives and a few others to convince me this is a "great year for music".
1966 meanwhile WAS a great year for music:
Revolver, Pet Sounds, Aftermath, Face To Face.... along with many more.
Proper
I disagree its the complete opposite if you ask me.
2013 is an all time low for Dance music IMO , the underground scene will and always be the proper stuff , Mainstream Dance hasn't been good for 6/7 years now.
Generic Dance-pop is dominating the charts more than ever before look at Armin van Buuren makes cheesy pop now rather than decent dance hits like he used in the early to mid 2000s.
New Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Bowie, Vampire Weekend, Frank Turner, Little Boots, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Atoms for Peace, Biffy Clyro, Foals, Hurts, Joy Formidable, Tegan & Sara.
And brilliant debuts like Bastille, Charli XCX, MS MR, Laura Mvula, Bleached, Palma Violets
With Haim, Laura Marling, Beyonce, Gaga, Sam Smith, The National, Kodaline, Arcade Fire and more coming this year.
Very happy and very broke.
New albums from The Dillinger Escape Plan, Gabrielle Aplin, MS MR, Pharmakon, Vampire Weekend, Daft Punk, Kylesa, Laura Marling, Mount Kimbie, Ciara, Disclosure, Sleeping with Sirens, Boards of Canada and Sigur Ros, in the next month.
It surprised me aswell but their.new album is really good (if a little short)
Amazing debuts from Peace, Palma Violets and The History of Apple Pie.
Some of the strongest albums of their careers from Foals, James Blake, Everything Everything, The Strokes, Born Ruffians, She & Him and Noah and the Whale.
And some pretty decent, if flawed, work from Kate Nash, Darwin Deez, Little Boots, Fall Out Boy, Justin Timberlake, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Charli XCX.
And there's so much more to come, too - pretty wired for new albums from Amelia Lily, Miles Kane, The Horrors, Vampire Weekend, Agnetha Faltskog, Diana Vickers and Sigur Ros.
Overall I'm pretty happy with how 2013 is shaping up.
Disclosure reminds me of the Artful Dodger/Craig David UK electro garage days.
