December 10, 200916 yr It's hard for me to make a list of music from this year, since there aren't much thing that have made a lasting impression on me. So I'll just make a little bit longer decade list of 20 records, if you don't mind of course. :!: It's a list of things that I can't get enough of at the moment. Not much of all those indie bands that were so popular this decade: they are/were fun for a while, but when you've heard them a couple of times they get boring pretty soon. Most of it is recycled stuff anyhow. Arcade Fire - Funeral (2004)Electric Masada - At the Mountains of Madness (2005)Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - No More Shall we Part (2001)Matt Elliott - Howling Songs (2008)Radiohead - Amnesiac (2001)Britney Spears - Blackout (2007)Sun Kil Moon - April (2008)Joanna Newsom - Ys (2006)Gavin Bryars, Philip Jeck, Alter Ego - The Sinking of the Titanic (2007)Scott Walker - the Drift (2006)Tom Waits - Orphans (2006) The Nels Cline Singers - Instrumentals (2002)David Sylvian - Blemish (2003)Marc Ribot - Asmodeus: Book of Angels Vol. 7 (2007)Uri Caine - Moloch: Book of Angels Vol. 6 (2006)Six Organs of Admittance - Dark Noontide (2002)Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise (2005)Einstürzende Neubauten - Alles Wieder Offen (2007)Nels Cline, Andrea Parkins and Tom Rainey - Downpour (2007)Bob Dylan - the Bootleg Series Vol. 6: Live 1964 (2004) Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!

December 10, 200916 yr I don't want to be mean, but that Pearl Jam and Pumpkins record are from the nineties. Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
December 10, 200916 yr Can't say I agree with much of your list, except for: Brand New - Daisy <3: <3: <3: <3: <3: <3: <3: <3: <3: <3: <3: <3: <3: <3: <3: <3: <3: Other than that most of the stuff I listen to has been made before 2000. Ps. Keeping this open as it does have a different focus from the other lists - this is probably the last one we need though :P "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
December 10, 200916 yr For 2009: No particular order or anything.Them Crooked Vultures - Them Crooked Vultures.Wolfmother - Cosmic Egg.Chickenfoot - Chickenfoot.Spinnerette - Spinnerette.The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die.

December 10, 200916 yr Only two albums that really sood out to me this year: Enter Shikari's Common DreadsParamore's Brand New Eyes. So don't let anyone tell you you're not worth the earth, These streets are your streets, this turf is your turf, Don't let anyone tell you that you've got to give in, Cos you can make a difference, you can change everything, Just let your dreams be your pilot, your imagination your fuel, Tear up the book and write your own damn rules, Use all that heart, hope and soul that you've got, And the love and the rage that you feel in your gut, And realise that the other world that you're always looking for, Lies right here in front of us, just outside this door, And it's up to you to go out there and paint the canvas, After all, you were put on the earth to do this, So shine your light so bright that all can see, Take pride in being whoever the [bleep] you want to be.
December 11, 200916 yr Propagandhi's "Supporting Caste" is the best album released this year, for me.Can't be bothered making a list for the decade. It isn't in the castle, It isn't in the mist, It's a calling of the waters, As they break to show, The new Black Death, With reactors aglow, Do you think your security, Can keep you in purity, You will not shake us off above or belowScottish frictionScottish fiction
December 11, 200916 yr 2009: Brand New Eyes by ParamoreSound Awake by KarnivoolThe Incident by Porcupine Tree I'd have to seriously think about the best of the decade.
