2009's best albums
This is coming a little bit late, but in my defence, I was still listening to a couple of these on my commute to school yesterday (new job! woooo!) to decide on which records made the cut. Just for the record, and based on that commute, Wild Beasts just missed out. Close but no banana, boys.
Well, these records got the banana, that's for damn sure. Here are my top ten records for 2009, in order! They're all completely awesome, so go get 'em if you haven't already.
10. Them Crooked Vultures - Them Crooked Vultures
Virtuoso supergroup = the rockingest album that ever rocked. Also: it rocks.

She's utterly lovely, and I've finally fallen for her quirky charms.
A quirky, timeless delight; a generous dose of artful Americana.
An epic, mesmerising, hypnotic and kinda dangerous electronic symphony.
The YYYs hit the disco, with Nick Zinner's guitar prowess thankfully still intact.
An treasure trove of insanely catchy songs, just begging to be loved like a neurotic puppy.
Lovable, adventurous art-pop for New York's trendiest - anything goes on Bitte Orca.
Elaborate yet concise, lurching from baroque pop to terrifying noise; her soft voices belies an undercurrent of danger and violence running throughout this amazing album.
Like a thoroughly modern, bohemian Kate Bush, Florence Welch's dramatic persona - and the songs to match - make her a star.
Rock, folk, electronica and the avant-garde fused together into a single euphoric, transcendent whole. Nothing else comes close.
