Top 10 Albums Of 2009
This was a very solid musical year for me. |
10 | | Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros Up From Below
I had a few that were really close. Honorable Mentions:
Miike Snow - Miike Snow,
El Perro Del Mar - Love Is Not Pop,
You Say Party We Say Die - XXXX, |
9 | | Kings Of Convenience Declaration of Dependence
Finally another King's album. So calming and good. Erlend Oye is quite possibly the artist of the decade. |
8 | | The Very Best Warm Heart Of Africa
Just liked it a lot. Feel good music. |
7 | | Animal Collective Merriweather Post Pavilion
I picked everyone else's favorite too. |
6 | | The XX xx
Good stuff. "Islands" is my favorite. The rest sounds like Chris Issak, which is a good thing. |
5 | | Passion Pit Manners
This album had to grow on me, but it did. Its very deep, by which I mean it has a lot of great songs. |
4 | | Delorean Ayrton Senna
I couldn't give up "Deli" or "Seasun" for any other song on all the other albums on this entire list. Best dance tunes of the year. |
3 | | Phoenix Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
The worst Phoenix album is still amazing. I remember seeing them at the Crocodile in Seattle with 200 people 2 years earlier then in Central Park with 3000. This was the year my favorite band finally made it big. Why'd it take so long? |
2 | | The Whitest Boy Alive Rules
So much better than the last Whitest Boy Alive album. Like I said, Erlend may be the artist of the decade. This is, quite specifically, the music that I really love. "Roller Coaster Ride", "Island" & "1517" are amazing. |
1 | | Julian Casablancas Phrazes for the Young
He sings the things I feel. On top of that the music is amazing. I played this album over and over again, although I pretty much always skipped "River of Break Lights".
"Take all your fears, pretend they're all true. Take all your plans, pretend they fell though!" |
