Back in November, we asked listeners to vote on their top local releases of 2013. We received just shy of 4,000 ballots for the poll, and it became apparent quickly just how many great releases the Minnesota music community put out this year. As promised, we counted down the top 20 on The Local Show and the results can be found below (as well as relevant links to coverage during 2013).

Tune in on Monday, December 30 from 10AM-2PM on the Local Current stream to hear the top 50 counted down, hosted by David Campbell and Andrea Swensson.
