Well, folks, it's that time of the year again. The time where the world takes a second to sit back and marvel, often in both shock and awe, at the most controversial, beautiful and defining moments of the last twelve months, before the world continues its endless march into the future, and with it, another year of sure-to-be unbridled madness. It's an incredibly masturbatory practice and I love it. This time, we're looking at what the world of music has brought us in 2013, and what moments stood out above the rest. One thing that can be safely said, is that we were certainly entertained, with the usual, token controversy at the VMA's taking up more internet bandwidth than deserved, and Kanye continuing to (seemingly) troll the music industry.

Here are the Top 10 Moments in Music for the year 2013.
