A tonic that no medication can give': readers' favourite albums of 2023
Briefly

A thrilling group that I thought had gone for ever so it was amazing to hear this, how fresh it is and yet so recognisable. My partner of 20 years died very suddenly of a brain aneurysm in October 2022 and I so wish he could have heard Caution to the Wind. It moves me immensely.
I've loved Jung Kook's singles, but since Golden dropped, I haven't stopped listening to the whole album. Please Don't Change, Hate You and Yes or No have been my favourites. The versatility of different styles Jung Kook is playing with is unbelievable. [...] They literally saved me when I thought of giving up.
Blur The Ballad of Darren As a teenage boy in the north-west during the 1990s, I felt alone in loving Blur when all my mates were mad into Oasis. I've followed Damon Albarn in all his guises for nearly 30 years, and this was probably his best year. Songs like The Narcissist and The Heights will sit proudly among the best of Blur's career. Tears were shed at Wembley, where I took my two eldest boys (also big fans, obviously). Pure, unadulterated heartwarming stuff.
