13 really? 13?
Definitely in the bottom half of the Blur catalog. Though 'No Distance Left To Run' is pretty rad.
Parklife is far and away considered their best record. Great Escape and Leisure are great as well.
Blur - Parklife
Foals - Total Life Forever
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Your Funeral, My Trial (but they're all good pretty much except for Nocturama)
Beach House - Bloom
Metric - Fantasies
Sigur Ros - Takk
Spiritualized - Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space (Songs in A&E is also brilliant)
Dead Can Dance - Aion or Within The Realm of a Dying Sun
13 is my favorite Blur album as well. Probably their weirdest and most musically accomplished, esp. the back half-- the stretch from "Battle" to "No Distance Left to Run" is better than anything they've done (IMO).
Parklife and Great Escape are definitely Blur's best two.
I would definitely not say Fantasies for Metric. Old World Underground , Where are You Know is my favorite. Both Live It Out and Grow Up and Blow Away are better than Fantasies IMO.

And don't listen to TallGuy, the critics, or anyone who tells you that You're Living All Over Me is the best Dinosaur Jr. album. Bug is the better listen for its flaws, not in spite of them.
And El-P's best listen is still Company Flow - Funcrusher Plus. Aesop Rock is still Labor Days, although he's been consistently great.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Freaky Styley
Ghost - Hypnotic Underworld (hahajkomg!!! It's really the only album they have, Opus Eponymous)
Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes
Lou Reed - Transformer
Nick Cave - Tender Prey
Grinderman - 2
Dropkick Murphys - Do Or Die
Social Distortion - Social Distortion
Jurassic 5 - quality control
Red Hot Chili Peppers - californication
Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
Rodriguez - cold fact
The Stone Roses - the stone roses
Lou Reed - Street Hassle
Metric - Old World Underground
Aesop Rock - Float
Danny Brown - XXX
2Chainz - T.R.U. Realigion
El-P (Solo) - Fantastic Damage
Action Bronson - Blue Chips
Wu-Tang - Enter the Wu-Tang 36 Chambers
Grimes - Visions
Kurt Vile - Smoke Ring for My Halo
Best album by a member of Raider Klan: Denzel Curry - Strictly 4 My R.V.X.D.X.R.Z.

Modest Mouse - The Moon And Antarctica (Agree, a near masterpiece, but LCW one of most overrated LPs of last 20 years...three great songs and a ton of slop)
Grinderman - Take Your pick - I has better best songs and wicked humor (great best songs), II is a more consistent and more instrumentally impressive effort but as second cover implies, more menacing than funny.
Beach House - Teen Dream
Stars - Set Yourself On Fire
Foals - Total Life Forever
The Xx - The debut 10x better than follow up
Sigur Ros - Takk
Hot Chip - The Warning
Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest
Bat For Lashes - Fur and Gold
Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid II & III
El-P - I'm partial to latest Cancer 4 Cure
Franz Ferdinad - s/t debut
RHCP - In minority here, but I love the 2006 double way more than Blood Sugar Sex Magic, just a JF showcase
Nick Cave - Who knows, but for a 50 year old, his recent years have been incredibly productive, last release Dig Lazarus Dig was great, like it and Abatoir a lot more than Murder Ballads but his discography is vast.
Vampire Weekend - The s/t debut
Tame Impala - Lonerism is an incredibly forward looking approach on psychedelic music, but I find it really lacks momentum and am personally partial to Innerspeaker even though Lonerism is a much more unique effort and sonically amazing.
The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound but in honesty, this is one of those bands where every song truly does sound the same - one of the least impressive and unwarranted ask backs in recent memory - very average live act - which is surprising giving the Springsteeny earnestness of their songs.
Thee Oh Sees - Tons of material, but I really liked last years Carrion Crawler/The Dream Double EP - two or three barn burners in there I hope to hear on the polo fields.
