 |
Okay, so we're talking a lot about 2010's best, and what's coming up in 2011, but what about 2009?
Personally, I've changed my favorites a good bit since then. Here are my top five of 2009:
1. White Rabbits-It's Frightening (9.0)
2. Gossip-Music For Men (8.5)
3. Animal Collective-Merriweather Post Pavilion (8.5)
4. Charlie N. George-The Book of Abysmality (8.0)
5. Miley Cyrus-Can't Be Tamed/Asa-Asa (8.0)
What about you? Have you discovered any 2009 albums recently that deserve more respect, or did you find that the "great" 2009 albums haven't held up? |

Still love White Lies - To Lose My Life so that is above Muse - The Resistance.
Only would add Leader Cheetah - The Sunspot Letters (adelaide band) and Silversun Pickups - Swoon to favs of 2009.
And I still cant see the appeal of MPP. Sorry to those out there that love it but I like to experience music not have to overanalyse every couple of seconds. Maybe in time I will but at the moment, I don't appreciate it. |

| I really only listen to a few songs off MPP, Veckatimest, and It's Blitz, which is mainly why I stand up for 2010 so much; there are so many songs from the beginning of the year which I still put on repeat |

Yeah, there were a few albums from 2009 that I just couldn't get behind, the main ones being Veckatimest and Embryonic. I'm not knocking the albums, I'm just saying I couldn't understand what the hype was about. Anyway, here's the list:
1. Elvis Perkins in Dearland - Elvis Perkins in Dearland and The Doomsday EP (I think it's reasonable to group these two together)
2. Coldplay - Left Right Left Right Left (I didn't know if this should count as a real album or not... hence why I'm listing eleven albums instead of ten  )
3. The Decemberists - The Hazards of Love
4. Local Natives - Gorilla Manor
5. The Big Pink - A Brief History of Love
6. The Antlers - Hospice
7. Camera Obscura - My Maudlin Career
8. Kasabian - West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum
9. The Damnwells - One Last Century
10. Andrew Bird - Noble Beast
11. M. Ward - Hold Time
Honorable mentions go to:
Julian Casablancas - Phrazes for the Young
Balmorhea - All Is Wild, All Is Silent
Metric - Fantasies
After I made my list, I was surprised to see no one had mentioned most of the albums I listed (even though only a few people have posted), particularly those from The Decemberists, The Big Pink, Local Natives, and Camera Obscura. Only because I thought those were fairly "big" albums from 2009. But I could be wrong. |
