Soooooo, 2009 is coming to its end in a month, and as every year, it's time to choose your favorites records.
But this year, the decade is ending aswell, and everywhere in the musical sphere are tons of "BestAlbumsOfThe2000s" lists.
So I had a look on a few ones, and I have to admit I don't understand shit to any of people's choices. Magazines, boards, websites, everyone is picking quite the same albums, and I feel like I spent the last 10 years on a different planet. Pitchfork have more albums I've never heard of than albums I know in their list.
I couldn't make any top 2000's (I don't remember what I listened the most in 2001, and I bet I'm not alone), but Kid A seems to get everyone's opinion (why not, it makes sense), followed by shitloads of low-fi/indie rock as Animal Collective, Arcade Fire and The Strokes. I would never have picked any of these, but still...
Anyway, here's my Top 10 of 2009. Not much metal this year.
1. Porcupine Tree - The Incident
2. Jonsi & Alex - Riceboy Sleeps
3. Antony & The Johnsons - The Crying Light
4. Au Revoir Simone - Still Night, Still Light
5. Sand Snowman - Two Way Mirror
6. Muse - The Resistance
7. Katatonia - Night Is The New Day
8. Aviv Geffen - s/t
9. Seth Gueko - La Chevaliere
0. Depeche Mode - Sounds Of The Universe
My opinion is that 2009 was a very poor year for music. Your choices ?
