2009 Wrap up

2009 has been an interesting year in terms of music.

Most magazines and web-sites are treating the close of 2009 as the time to review the decade.

Have a look at what NME magazine rate as the greatest albums of the decade here:

and while you are there also have a look at their greatest tracks of the decade.

Rolling Stone magazine have an opinion too:

Lists like this are all over the www. I cannot even begin to compile a list as I have not been exposed to much of the new music mentioned.

My find of 2009 was Them Crooked Vultures. The band line up of Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones represents a few of my favourite bands. Homme is a collaborator par excellance, and the high hopes that I had for this album were met. These guys have the personalities and musical skills to make this kind of collaboration work! I love it.
