Uncut 80 Best New Albums of 2013


Another substantial end-of-year chart from the UK printed music press. This one comes from monthly magazine Uncut, it has been published on January 2014 issue and it is slightly bigger than average (80 albums). That means here you can find many titles excluded from other charts: for example, albums by Jonathan Wilson, Johnny Marr, Yo La Tengo, Okkervil River, Phoenix, Iron & Wine, Robyn Hitchcock and Sir Elton John (ranked in a not very royal #75 position). "Spotify Curse of the 2013 UK Charts" goes on: as already happened in Mojo's list (with Bill Callahan), also in this one the #1 album (My Bloody Valentine's mbv) is not available on the streaming service. All three big Spotify desaparecidos of the year (My Bloody Valentine, Bill Callahan, Roy Harper) are in the Top 10, with the fourth one, Atoms For Peace's Amok, at #27.  Some other albums are missing (full chart is below), but almost 90% are available.

Enjoy.

Full list

Strikethrough albums (10/80) are not available on Spotify. Prefab Sprout's Crimson/Red and Connan Mockasin's Caramel may be not available in some countries (Italy, for example) though they are in the playlists. Linda Thompson's Won't Be Long Now raised my eyebrows: I found only 30-second snippets of each song. I put them on the playlists, but I deeply hope the 30-second policy is not going common on Spotify.
