TOP 200 OF 2013 – 26-50 /Â 51-100 /Â 101-150 / 151-200Â [/highlight]
Like the music blog equivalent of that bloke who runs the marathon in a deep sea diving suit, the final part of the Top 200 tracks of 2013 arrives painfully late.  The time-keeping may be shoddy but the music is anything but.
2013 follows 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 (check them out if you have the stamina) in offering up far too much incredible music, even for this blogs preposterously long chart. Â
So if you have a spare 15 hours, sit back, fire up one of the playlists above, or scroll down these pages and you’ll hopefully find a few tunes that make your jaw drop, your heart flutter or your derrière shake just a little.
Visit Music Like Dirt on Facebook, Twitter or leave a comment at the bottom to let me know what a schmuck I am for missing out your own favourite of the last 12 months.

Well, our tune Montys Jaws is sitting pretty at No. 12 in the Music Like Dirt Top Tracks of 2013…And its not… http://t.co/Mz87ZZlNoj
The Pet Shop Boys always had tight lyrics. Their music and sound only enhanced the lyrics and made them that much better. I also love the honesty of Public Enemy. That is what rap dangerous, people openly speaking their minds even if it wasn’t PC.
Couldn’t agree more which is why it was so good to hear a decent tune to match the PSBs always top lyrics. Didn’t put a foot wrong until Behaviour but I’ve pretty much hated everything since bar a few exceptions. Glad to have them back!
