best music of 09
i suppose it's that time again! it's really early in the morning and we're having a massive snow storm here. it freaking NEVER snows here so it's exciting...but also we're probably all snowed in. i hope someone went to get alcohol before the snow. so while i am sitting here freezing (and kinda wishing i had the zebra print Snuggie) i thought i would post my best of list.
Best Albums of 09 - not in any order
La Roux - La Roux (it was painfully obvious that she was going to be huge)
Lady Gaga - The Fame Monster (she owned this whole year)
Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (fantastic album. they finally made their big break in the US.)
Bat for Lashes - Two Suns (my most anticipated album)
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz! (Karen O is my hero)
Silversun Pickups - Swoon (adorable shoegaze)
Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion (i didn't think i'd like this, but i did)
Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest (probably going to be on a lot of "best of" lists)
MSTRKRFT - Fist of God (one of my favorites this past summer)
Empire of the Sun - Walking on a Dream (ok, i know the album technically came out in Oct. of 08 but i have been listening to this album on repeat all year)
Passion Pit - Manners (another i listen to on repeat)
Franz Ferdinand - Tonight (very dance-y and fun)
Imogen Heap - Ellipse(liked almost every song)
Best Tracks of 09 (still not really in any order)
Silversun Pickups - Substitution
Lady Gaga - Bad Romance
Phoenix - Lisztomania
Bat for Lashes - Daniel
Passion Pit - The Reeling
Animal Collective - My Girls
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads will Roll
La Roux - Quicksand
Franz Ferdinand - Ulysses
Grizzly Bear - While You Wait for the Others
Flaming Lips feat MGMT - Worm Mountain
Empire of the Sun - Walking on a Dream
Imogen Heap - Tidal
my Honorable Mention goes to Adam Lambert for For Your Entertainment (track and album). it's a guilty pleasure. besides, his album cover is epic.
Travis, Doves, and Air all had new albums this year only none of them were so great which makes me sad. their older stuff is better (this is in regards to all of these bands).
