5 - Owl City I just found out about him this year, but I think he has already been around for a while. Really soothing songs with upbeat melodies, not everyones taste though.

4 - Beyonce Amazing songs, she has managed to stay upstream with tons of new artists and have kept her mark on music history for YEARS now.

3 - Phoenix Seriously, every single song of theirs is great and their tunes are so catchy you will be hearing the beats in your dreams! I sure did.


2 - Black Eyed Peas Just wow, I wasn't a big fan of their old songs, although they were pretty good aswell. However, they keep pumping out some great new tunes and they always make me lose my breathe.

1 - Lady GaGa To be honest, I don't like her music too much, its mainstream and not very original...but...congratulations on being the first person to break all tabus and love it. She has tons of confidence and there is no denying it. Confidence makes her totally sexy and her music catchy.

Oh, 2009, what a good year for music you've been :) For my UK friends, Spotify!

Last year I done a really comprehensive list of the best tracks and albums and things from thhe whole 12 months that I essentially started working on as soon as my hangover cleared on the 1st of January. Yeah I totally didn't stay in last year watching Father Ted all night, I was out partying, yes that's right. In comparison to that comprehensive work last year, I really have not been paying much attention. So this is going to be a bit shit. All the same I'll try my best. For you.

15 Songs that make one helluva playlist.

01 Manic Street Preachers - Peeled Apples
I hated this band until towards the end of 2008 when I discovered the Holy Bible properly. This is probably my most played track of the year, mainly through the radio rip on youtube, complete with Zane Lowe telling me the song as going to "tear my face off". Of course.
02 Future of the Left - I Am Civil Service
I discovered mclusky recently, and went on this bands myspace to check out what Falcos newest stuff was like. I really hated what I heard. Somewhere along the line I decided to get hold of the bands last album, it's fucking awesome. My ears must have been playing tricks on me.
03 Asbestos - Black Diamonds
I'm online friends with the bassist. That's not to say this song doesn't tear most stuff apart. Someone please sign them so they can tour and I can see them live.
04 The Flaming Lips - The Sparrow Looks Up At The Machine
I'm not sure any of the songs from Embryonic will really work on thier own terms. It's one of those sort of albums. Still, this is groovy.
05 Jay - Z - d.o.a
Err Jay, more songs like this, and less of the other shit you put out, please.
06 Eels - Fresh Blood
The first new Eels track and album in ages came out this year. Plus there's another one out in January. Exciting times for Eels fans.
07 Polvo - Lucia
I must admit, I was hugely disapointed with the new Polvo album. It's horribly produced, boring and just kinda tame in terms of weird guitars. All the same, this song is one of the best Polvo songs ever, so fair dues.
08 The Horrors - Scarlet Fields
The bassline doesn't sound like Love Will Tear Us Apart.
09 White Lies - To Lose My Life
Catchy.
10 Sonic Youth - What We Know
Sonic Youth should count thier blessings they have Lee Ranaldo in the band.
11 Franz Ferdinand - Ulysses
This song, no matter how good, doesn't make up for that horrible third album. Not one bit.
12 Biffy Clyro - That Golden Rule
Fun riffs and fun times trying to keep time with the last part.
13 Dizzee Rascal - Bonkers
Track of the year, I think. Probably the weirdest song to slip through the charts since "Soon" by My Bloody Valentine or something. Luckily no one was paying that much attention and just wanted to dance.
14 Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Soft Shock
That electro album was totally hit or miss. This song is lovely, though.
15 Lightning Bolt - Transmissionary
The pinacle of Lightning Bolt's progression over the last ten years. 12 minutes of awesome, octave travelling awesome. Headbang motherfuckers.

Worst song of the Year
Black Eyed Peas - I Got A Feeling
I got a feeling some people should learn to stay addicted to crystal meth.

Albums of the Year

01 Manic Street Preachers - Journal For Plague Lovers
02 Future of the Left - Travels With Myself And Another
03 The Flaming Lips - Embryonic
04 Lightning Bolt - Earthly Delights
05 The Horrors - Primary Colours

No new bands in sight, but Welsh bands in the top two. Woohoo Welsh pride.

Writing this didn't make my headache go away. Goodnight.
