Årets bästa album 2023
Ännu ett fantastiskt musikår har passerat och det har varit ett riktigt ymnighetshorn av sublima album, oavsett om du gillar hårdrock, indie, pop, hip-hop eller något helt annat. Här har vi samlat ett urval av de album som kritikerna har röstat fram som årets bästa + ett antal av årets bäst recenserade album som tyvärr inte lyckades ta sig in på topplistorna.
Under 2023 har vi sett veteraner som Depeche Mode, Peter Gabriel, Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, Blur, PJ Harvey och många andra återvända med några fenomenala album - för många av dem något av det bästa material de har levererat på otaliga år. Återigen befinner sig både pop- och R&B-genrerna i en ny guldålder, med artister som Caroline Polachek, Olivia Rodrigo, Troye Sivan, Sampha og Taylor Swift som återigen imponerar på både kritiker och fans. Dessutom finns det som vanligt en hel del fantastiska indiesläpp som har fått välförtjänt kärlek från kritikerna.
