THANK YOU!
The new phoenix cd is so overrated. Phoenix and Girls. I tried it like 3 times through and found myself only listening to 1901 over and over. I know its cliche’ cuz its the main single but shit.

Album of Year: Antlers-Hospice
Runner Up: M.Ward – Hold Time

I just used this poll in a compilation of “Best of 2009″ lists for comparison… great choices! Can’t please everyone.

Further proof that Animal Collective is currently the most overrated band in the music biz.

I have a vote for Fever Ray being on this list myself…. personally I think it’s very hard to try to please everyone with a shortlist like this. However, it’s not enough to just say that you used a variety of critics opinions to formulate said list. The unfortunate part is that I see that the list of options has a lot of overlap in style/genre. Perhaps your variety of critics is too narrow? eh.

That being said… good work.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs? Lots of people were creaming about that one, and that cream was white-hot.

Phrazes for the Young was pretty sweet, too, but I can see why it was left off your list.

Glad to see someone who shares the same sentiment that I have with Fever Ray.

It’s sort of like if Bjork’s “Homogenic” had a reserved and creepier cousin, it would be this album.

Great list, but where is St. Vincent? That was a great album! Same with Fever Ray and Andrew Bird?
Oh well, there is some awesome stuff on there anyways

In my opinion Manners by Passion Pit is one of the best albums of 2009

Have you seen the new “Little Secrets” version??!! (Felix Da Housecat remix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s57e7_K1AEA

Dirty Projectors has zero entertainment value, animal collective is a roller coaster, the antlers are by the far the most overrated noise i have ever witnessed. grizzly bear and phoenix win along with the most unappreciated lp of the year, phrasez for the young.

Omg this list really sucks, with an exeption for The xx.
Love the blog, though.

Uh, Middle Cyclone is an option but Noble Beast isn’t? K.

Voted for Veckatimest, my #2.

Dirty Projectors hands down.

then
Animal Collective
Grizzly Bear
The Antlers
…then the rest, Wolfgang is overrated and Manners was a let down.

Great list Luis!
To all the people bitching, cut the shit seriously.
Go start your own lame music blog and see who comments on it.

the consensus appears to be that people would rather vote on what should be in the top 10 then the top 10 itself :p

Battant – No head, best album of 2009, for sure.

I can’t see a other LP at the first place.

But i admit after the XX released a pretty good album…
