MY ALBUMS OF 2009

I am going to list my favourite albums of the year over the next few days, and just wanted to explain how I am going to choose them before I put them here. I am simply listing the 10 albums that I received the most pleasure in listening to, found the most interesting and think I will enjoy for a long time. Hopefully you enjoyed some of them too, and perhaps if you haven't heard them, then you could check them out - I think they're worth some of your time.

I also wanted to list the ones that almost made it, ones which I loved but not as much as others, and ones which were good in parts. So here'e the ones unlucky to miss out;

The Horrors - Primary Colours

Jamie T -Kings & Queens

Wild Beasts - Two Dancers

Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest

Yeah Yeah Yeah's - It's Blitz!

Woods - Songs of Shame

Cass McCombs - Catacombs

Julian Casablancas - Phrazes For The Young

Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion

Florence & The Machine - Lungs

Bombay Bicycle Club - I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose

The Strange Boys - And Girls Club

Also, here are some albums which show some great potential, and ones which might get bigger in 2010;
