Here we go again! Live4ever’s end-of-year look back is primed and ready to bring the best of another great twelve months of music together during the next few weeks when some of our favourite albums, tracks, gigs and more will be remembered and revisited as the festive season gets in full swing.
The Essential Listening 2013 series begins today with some essential viewing – Live4ever’s Emmy award winning founder Paul Bachmann has been casting his expert eye over some of the best videos to have crossed our path this year, variously looking out for cinematography, visuals, production value, editing, concept and adaption, all of which prove the world of the music video is flourishing with fresh ideas and imagination.
Live4ever’s Essential Listening series is here to share, not preach! An interactive celebration of rock and roll where your favourites can contribute. If your stand-out music video of the year isn’t included then make sure it gets a deserved mention by leaving a comment below.

Ha, China Rats being number 6 is a little nice thing.
I’ve seen them at London Calling twice last year (balcony session and in Paradiso).
They only released an EP at that time. Nice boys.
I’m looking forward to read L4E’s Essential Listening albums and gigs.
This year has been a great music year for me again
