Variety is always right. Not the magazine, I mean the condition. So, it's good to find some end-of-year lists that have not Daft Punk's Get Lucky or VampireWeekend/KanyeWest/ArcticMonkeys' albums on top. For Paste online magazine, the best song of 2013 is Janelle Monae's Q.U.E.E.N., while best album is Phosphorescent's Muchacho (with Mikal Cronin at #2 and Foxygen at #3). Ok, Get Lucky is song #3, you cannot change the world in one chart (and overheard Daft Punk hit stays cool), but I found these lists quite fresh and filled with surprises.
Enjoy.
