favourite album of 2009

[Afghan Dave]

Paul Gilbert & Freddie Nelson - United States.

Took me a while to get into it but now absolutely love it.

And if nothing else Im not sure Ive heard any good albums this year other than that.   2009 sucked for me music-wise.

Great choice!

I love the new Lynch Mob album "Smoke & Mirrors" plus...

Danger Danger - Revolve

Europe - Last Look At Eden

[Philly Q]

I can't think of any exciting album, new or old, I've actually discovered for the first time this year.

I still listening to my usual old stuff, and I've bought a few new releases but nothing that blew me away.  Unless I've forgotten something.

But that reminds me I still haven't heard Them Crooked Vultures.... off to Spotify I go.

Thought you'd like the new Winger CD Philly..  :?

Oh I do, I do.  But I don't think it's as good as IV or Pull, so in that sense I was a bit disappointed.  But maybe a few more listens will swing it.  :)

I got it twice for xmas - worth buying for sure.  Not so sure how much influence I can hear from Grohl and JPJ, but if you like QOTSA you'll like Them Crooked Vultures.

I had a listen on Spotify this afternoon - quite liked it, but a bit too much QOTSA.  I like QOTSA and I like Josh Homme, but I liked him 1,000 times better in Kyuss.

I guess I'd really like to hear Grohl and JPJ with some sh!t-hot funky blues-rock monster wailing over the top.  Richie Kotzen maybe?

[Ian Price]

Heaven & Hell, The Devil You Know

That's a good shout - I'd never really listened too much to any Sabbath stuff before this year and love this album.

I did get quite a few albums* for Christmas though so the jury is out for me.

Electric Ladyland
Bluesbreakers
BB King at The Regal
Boggy Depot
The Incident
Moving Pictures

Like Philly, I don't think theres been any 2009 music I've found that interesting or exciting. Was going to say Lady Gaga - The Fame, but apparently that's 2008.

Homme IS at his best in Kyuss. ive always found QOTSA a bit dull. I think Grohl is pretty easy to pick out as a drummer, maybe even in Scream.

[FELINEGUITARS]

Europe - Last Look At Eden

Kiss - Sonic Boom

Steel Panther - Feel The Steel

Joie Bonamassa - The Ballad Of John Henry

[murraymurray]

Converge - axe to fall
havent listened to it enough yet, i now know what to put on the ipod for the walk home from work

in regards to Josh Homme, im pretty sick of everything hes done recently, enjoyed early QOTSA, lover Kyuss, once he gave nick oliveri the boot from QOTSA i stopped listening, Homme took full control and steered the boat away from my island of enjoyment

I'm glad I'm not the only one!  Everyone seems to be raving about TCV, but I can just hear a rehashed QOTSA.  And I don't like QOTSA.....

[Johnny Mac]

Apart from the old stuff on my ipod, ( I managed to fill a 80g one) I really like Paloma Faiths album. I still listen to stuff from 30 odd years ago like The Faces, Curtis Mayfield. I liked Joe Bonamassa and Derek Trucks new stuff, plus some of that Chicken Head album was ok.

[LazyNinja]

I've been listening to Florence & the Machine a lot lately. Great album.

This thread reminded me I need to get that Them Crooked Vultures album!
