This was a very tough year as I didn’t want to go over 25 albums on the main list. And for all purposes, you could swap out any of those notable mentions for anything on the list not in the top ten. I hope you support the artists mentioned above by purchasing their music. After all, you’ve got to do something with all those gift cards after the holidays!

If you’d like to hear some complete versions of songs from my top ten and more be sure to tune-in to internet radio 11L Radio New York International on Sunday evening (12/29/13) at 7:30pm EST.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
