Top 5 Albums of 2009 (4 Viewers)

[orthentix]

The Resistance - Muse + Conditions - The Temper Trap; hands down.

Edit: gahh Humbug - Arctic monkeys ofcourse

Muses exogenesis is enough musical genious to make it one of the best albums of the year.

 

[Einsteinium_101]

Lady GaGa- The Fame Monster
Keith Urban- Defying Gravity
Paolo Nutini- Sunny Side Up
Empire of the Sun- Walking on a Dream
Beyonce- I am Sasha Fierce

 

[absorber]

Only listened to six albums from this year, so I'll give one: U2's No Line On The Horizon. Muse's was a disappointment, and the Decemberists' latest album wasn't their best, to all those people who seem to love those
