Re: Is 2013 the best year for music in a while?
Back on topic,I would say this has been the best year in a long time from a year to date perspective.
Daft Punk
Phoenix
The National
Frightened Rabbit
Mark Kozelek & Jimmy Lavelle
Local Natives
Johnny Marr
My Bloody Valentine
Vampire Weekend
Charles Bradley
Beach Fossils
Jason Isbell
And while I am not a fan of many of the other big releases this year, you can't ignore them (David Bowie, Flaming Lips, Nick Cave, etc)

In addition to some of the ones listed in this thread, The Airborne Toxic Event has a great new one that I'm enjoying quite a bit.

The new Big Boi was excellent.

God, I can't wait until the Daft Punk hysteria wears off. I couldn't get past track three.
Could be I can't stand 70's disco and funk. Worse than a chorus of screeching tomcats in heat.

Parquet Courts (the lo-fi NYC garage album I wish The Strokes would make)
The Knife (huge return to form from my favorite Nordic ice gods)
Savages (great twisted post punk)
Ghostface Killah (his best since Fishscale)
Pistol Annies (best country supergroup in years)
2013 is simply awesome so far.

How can people not like '70s funk? I know a lot still don't like disco because of the misguided disco sucks movement, but funk?

For myself, I'd say it's been a decent year, if not "the best" in awhile. Overall, I've been pretty pleased with what's come out. Some things lived up to expectation (Josh Rouse, Matt Pond, Johnny Marr, Suede, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club), others I didn't really have any for, and some things caught me completely by surprise with how much I enjoyed them. I'd put Daft Punk, The Joy Formidable and Joe Satriani into that latter category.
