"The 50 Best Albums of 2023" showcases the most impressive musical releases of the year, spanning genres and styles. With standout tracks like Fever Ray's "Shiver" from "Radical Romantics" and boygenius' "Not Strong Enough" from "the record," the playlist captures the eclectic and groundbreaking essence of 2023. Yo La Tengo's "Fallout" from "This Stupid World" adds a touch of indie nostalgia, while Lana Del Rey's introspective title track "Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd" offers a dreamy escape.

This playlist doesn't shy away from experimental sounds either, featuring Model/Actriz's "Amaranth" off "Dogsbody" and André 3000's genre-blending "Ghandi, Dalai Lama, Your Lord & Savior J.C. / Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, And John Wayne Gacy" from "New Blue Sun." With hits like SZA's "Blind" from "SOS" and Olivia Rodrigo's "vampire" from "GUTS," this collection covers both critical darlings and chart-toppers, providing a comprehensive snapshot of the musical landscape in 2023.
