Meh

Digging: Isis - Wavering Radiant

too british

Digging: Brand New - The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me

Ummm no. Nice try.

Digging: This Is Your Captain Speaking - Storyboard

Meh, few hits within a fuckton of misses

Digging: Oceansize - Frames

this was expected

Digging: Neurosis - Times of Grace

7. Muse - The Resistance
17. Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown


These pissed me off the most I guess. They totally missed most of the great albums of 2009.

hey look, 0 of these would be on mine

Digging: Grumblecunt - I Piss Shit

joke

Digging: Gay Witch Abortion - Maverick

once i saw kasabian at the top spot i kinda just tuned out

I lol'd hard at 17.

Digging: Dark Funeral - Angelus Exuro pro Eternus

I'm on fire... dang, dang, dang, dang, dang... dang, dang, dang, dang...

Digging: Paloma Faith - Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful?

29 is good.....

Digging: Katatonia - Viva Emptiness

I like 30.

still got 2 mnths wtf

Digging: -

Q's Top 50 British Albums Of 2009

Digging: Natasha Bedingfield - Pocketful of Sunshine

yea Q would

Digging: Gaza - He Is Never Coming Back

why is a british music magazine focusing on british music wtf

And I thought Pitchfork's lists were boring.

Digging: Devin Townsend Project - Addicted

I understand us guys/girls posting premature "best of" lists, but come on. And to add insult to injury, atleast put ONE good album on there!!!

Digging: Devin Townsend Project - Addicted

Kasabian. Fucking KASABIAN?

Digging: Biffy Clyro - Only Revolutions

shocked at some of this, like all of 20-30.

Digging: Modern Life Is War - Witness

wheres ulcerate and panopticon???
but seriously, good to at least see mos def and phoenix.

Digging: Have A Nice Life - Deathconsciousness

Nevermind this list of a worst of but I really liked the last three, could they have selected more washed-up has-beens?

WAIT. 21st century breakdown beats out wilco the album...i think not. Of course, 21st century breakdown shouldn't be one there at all. I give Hannah Montana has more musical credit than that pile of garbage

Digging: Nine Inch Nails - Broken [EP]

lol @ 7 and 17

Digging: Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To

There's about 5 here I agree with - just more so disagree with their placement (especially amongst everything else). 2009 has been pretty epic for music as far as I'm concerned.

Digging: Charles Mingus - Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus

the fact that OB4CL2 isn't even on this list makes it obsolete to me..

easily in the top 10 albums of the year

Digging: Guilty Simpson - Ode To the Ghetto

The list is trying to keep its finger on the pulse but it is jammed too far up its own arse to be able to do so.

At least they got Bat for Lashes right. Album rules.

Digging: Gunther - Pleasureman

Sputnik is mad that there is no fun!

Digging: Them Crooked Vultures - Them Crooked Vultures

123, atavan.

List fails hard. 2 is solid, but NOT a #2 of the year by any means. The rest are pretty much a WTF with a couple exceptions.

Digging: Sufjan Stevens - The BQE

Do you mean fun.?

Yes, that what I said . . .sort of

15 was a great disc and I agree with OBFCL 2 not being on there is an insult.

but all in all a fairly understandable list for a mainstream magazine? I dunno. Green day being on there at all made me sigh

Digging: Hilltop Hoods - State of the Art

Premature is right, lol.

Digging: As Cities Burn - Hell Or High Water

List fails, hard.

Digging: Clint Mansell & Kronos Quartet - The Fountain

eh mos def?

Digging: After The Sirens - What I Have To Give, Let It Be Enough

Album Rating: 1

predictable

Digging: Snow Patrol - Eyes Open

They forgot the Hannah Montana - Movie OST... and Alice in Chains...

Digging: Every Time I Die - New Junk Aesthetic

Phoenix should be 1-50

Digging: Masachist - Death March Fury

Album Rating: 2.5

At least MPP and Lungs made it.

Digging: Will Smith - Willenium

Aw yeah, 2, 5 and 6

lolwat @ 7, 9 and 17

FUCK OFF 1 AND 30

wtf 31 isn't even out yet

Digging: Pixies - Surfer Rosa

As voted by the readers of Q magazine...

Digging: Jesu - Silver

No Mono : (

Ridiculously mainstream, typical Q list

Digging: Biffy Clyro - Only Revolutions

Didn't expect any different tbh

Digging: Strapping Young Lad - City

given that it's a mainstream magazine, this isn't completely awful.

Digging: Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime

I don't know man, any list with Mika in the top 20 isn't too great.

Where is fun???

Digging: Elliott Smith - Either/Or

lol what a piece of shit

Digging: Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt II

Q fucking sucks

Q blows, none of these albums are even top 50 material.

Digging: Between The Buried And Me - The Silent Circus

Well I'm really happy about Florence and the Machine at least.

Digging: Say Anything - Say Anything

Aside from Devendra Banhart I didn't really see anything I cared for.

Digging: Murder by Death - In Bocca Al Lupo

oh my...not impressed.

Digging: Glassjaw - Worship and Tribute

No Mew? No care.

kasabian at #1 lol hilar

Digging: Annie - Don't Stop

"LOL IM INDIE"

how the hell is U2 still on any lists?

Digging: Edge Of Sanity - Crimson

terrible list with very few hits.

Digging: Porcupine Tree - Stupid Dream

.......first off, half of these bands should not be on this list. ESPECIALLY GREEN DAY! That pissed me off so much. When will people start making lists of best albums w/o bias to genre. I think a list should include any and all Genre's. There is no way that bands like Thrice, MArs Volta, Brand New, etc. shouldn't be on this list. I am not saying those were the best albums, im just giving examples.

Digging: Thrice - Beggars

can anyone explain to me why Kasabian get so much bum love when they are clearly are p*ss Poor ?

Digging: Southgang - Tainted Angel

the presence of 7 automatically kills the entire list regardless of 4, 5, 13, and 24

Meh.

Digging: Gaza - He Is Never Coming Back

lolwut

Digging: Do Make Say Think - Other Truths

Not a bad list, but some, like #1 and #2, are way overrated. Not much originality, either. Critics lists too often repeat each other.

7. Muse - The Resistance


Disclaimer: Glenn Beck also assisted in the creation of this list.

Album Rating: 1

Q must stand for QUEER

how could they have already heard biffy clyro?
its not even out yet

list is a completely predictable psuedo-hipster-fest

Digging: The National - Alligator

well 5 and 50 were my favorite albums of the year so it's nice to see them, but this list is still pretty bad.

outer south is on here, there for this loses all credit.

Digging: Shpongle - Ineffable Mysteries From Shpongleland

list is a completely predictable psuedo-hipster-fest

Hahahaha so true.

Digging: Nadja - Radiance of Shadows

too bad kasabian is fucking awful and so is a large majority of this list.

Digging: Minus The Bear - Planet Of Ice

Also, this list should be banished due to the fact that 2009 isn't over yet.

Album Rating: 5

hey wheres endgame

Digging: Metal Church - Metal Church

Also, this list should be banished due to the fact that 2009 isn't over yet.


Nuh uh Q is so indie hipster that they even defy the laws of time. It isn't trendy.

nothing but garbage indie rock.

First time I've heard The Prodigy as indie rock. Cool.

Digging: PJ Harvey - Dry

No Dredg?

Digging: As Tall As Lions - You Can't Take It With You

Way to much biasism, but it's expected since it is a British magazine. I really don't agree with much of it at all though.

lack of bomb the music industry! makes me frowny face

Digging: Converge - Axe To Fall

oh cool its NOVEMBER

Happy New Year?

Digging: Andrew Bird - The Mysterious Production of Eggs

No Crack the Skye? I am disappoint.

Digging: Bjork - Homogenic

bbbbbbbbbooooooooooooooooooooo

Digging: A Sunny Day In Glasgow - Ashes Grammar

Two words: What!?

There is like no metal in that list... and this has been one hell of a year for metal.

Digging: Gorguts - Obscura

not exactly sure why you guys are surprised at the lack of metal on this list...Q doesn't even cover metal music for the most part

tbh, there are some good ones here, notably florence and the machine, phoenix, manic street preachers, lily allen, etc., but it's legitimacy is slightly ruined by everything else (seriously that kasabian album at #1 is ridiculous, as is mika or empire of the sun that high)

who reads this shit

Digging: August Burns Red - Constellations

2's good, but not tht good...

Digging: Thrice - The Alchemy Index: Vols. I and II...

other than 23 and 24...trash.

Digging: Wale - Attention Deficit

U2 have out a pretty neat retro-y album.. would make most fans of pretty happy
21st century Green Day is great for them as far as hanging around.. and
my fave Ian Brown is a must have.. for stone roses fans as its very melodic and awesum.
a good year in music?? oh well whatever nevermind.. the end of good music.
Kiss have a new LP out.. but aside from 1 or 2 songs is horrible.

Honestly the only list that matters is the Sputnik top 100. Nobody else will have Converge in the top 10.

List is an epic failure.

Digging: Felt - Felt 3: A Tribute to Rosie Perez

For the most part, the list is a fail, but I do like the inclusion of Animal Collective and
Monsters of Folk

Digging: Monsters of Folk - Monsters of Folk

Album Rating: 3.5

1. WAY too early for a best of the year list.
2. Where are the good albums at?

Digging: Drudkh - Microcosmos

i didn't realize springsteen and empire of the sun made the same album.

wow what a wide range of music...........and LOOK! green day are obviously kicking ars again!...............................................................

Digging: Alice in Chains - Dirt

Among the all the obvious one that have already been mentioned what the hell is Invaders Must Die doing on here??
I waited 4 years for that album and that was the best they could come up with?

Digging: DevilDriver - Pray for Villains

This is a fucking joke, and everyone associated with the making of this list deserves to be hanged, drawn, and quartered immediately.

Digging: Sepsism - To Prevail In Disgust

^That's a bit much don't ya think?
How about a simple "ya fired"?

19's good.

Digging: This Will Destroy You - Young Mountain

Two Suns is too low. like most magazine album lists, it has its goods and its bads

Digging: Junius - The Martyrdom of a Catastrophist

Album Rating: 1.5

"Q polled british hipsters and british label managers for part of 2009, and has decided that these are the Top 50 albums across the world
for all of 2009".

Digging: Sarah Blasko - As Day Follows Night

Wah put more Sputnik bands on waahhhh.

Digging: Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago

They could've at least waited to see if the Deftones released their new one this year....jackasses

only a few should be on there

Digging: Karnivool - Sound Awake

harghible

Digging: Those Who Lie Beneath - An Awakening

Lily Allen at 8 is the biggest reason why I now won't be buying Q ever again. Kasabian at 1 comes a close second.

Digging: Wild Beasts - Two Dancers

lily allen's album is really good

truth that lily allen will probably be on my list
