Best Music of 2009

[Alan Harkleroad]

As the year comes to a close I thought we could all discuss what we felt our top 20 albums of 2009 were.

Mine: In no specific order.

1. Eminem Relapse (Returned with a bang. Like rap or not the man is a lyrical genius)
2. Thousand Foot Krutch: Welcome to the Masquerade
3. Default: Comes and Goes (One of the years best ROCK albums)
4. Our Lady Peace: Burn Burn
5. Third Eye Blind: Ursa Major
6. The Used: Artwork
7. Skillet: Awake
8. Daughtry: Leave this Town
9. Red Jumpsuit Apparatus: Lonely Road
10. Three Days Grace: Life Starts Now (Album about starting over) GREAT!
11. Breaking Benjamin: Dear Agony
12. Flyleaf: Memento Mori (Sophomore Album that didnt disapoint)
13. 30 Seconds to Mars: This Is War
14. Rascal Flatts: Unstoppable (Still my one and only favorite country Band. Never cease to impress.)
15. Evans Blue: Evans Blue (New front man, even better singer and sound)
16. New Found Glory: Right Where We Left Off (More mature but still kicking strong)
17. Taking Back Sunday: New Again (Just awesome)
18. Red: Innocence and Instincts (Great sophomoric return)
19. Alice and Chains: Black Gives Way to Blue (Do I have to say More!)
20. Hoobastank: Fornever (Ultimate Breakup Album with Kick!)

2. Thousand Foot Krutch: Welcome to the Masquerade

Eminem is def. a genius. And TFK is also a great band. Good choices

The only album I bought this year was 'War Is The Answer' by Five Finger Death Punch.

I'd highly recommend it to all the hard rock/metal fans out there. 5FDP has definitely progressed from their first album, and highlights for me included the instrumental 'Canto 34' (very haunting song), Bulletproof (just one ass-kicking song without being overly heavy), and their cover of Bad Company (seems to me the way that song should be, period).

 

[Michael James]

TAYLOR SWIFT OR GTFO, lol. I liked eminem's.

 

[Enter Sandman]

Waiting for 2010, I already know of 2 albums I intend to pick up.

Godsmack - Don't know what it's going to be called yet
John Michael Rose - The Portrait (some free advertisement for you dude!)

As for albums bought in 2008,

1. Metallica - Death Magnetic
2.Taylor Swift - Fearless (No clue if it has anything to do with the music or just the desire to sleep with her)
3.Slipknot - All Hope Is Gone
4.Scars On Broadway - They Say (a couple good songs, but mostly just a bit too trippy)

 

[xEAGLEx]

A Day to Remember: Homesick
August Burns Red: Constellations
Gucci Mane: The State vs. Radrick Davis
The Devil Wears Prada: With Roots Above And Branches Below
Suicide Silence: No Time to Bleed

If you are into the softer stuff...

I don't care. lolz. I listen to classic rock. But I would say that Five Finger Death Punch's new album should be on there. I would go with their cover of Bad Company personally.

 

[Alan Harkleroad]

never heard of FFDP. But i will dl and if i like buy it from I tunes.

 

[Frigus5]

I've got War Is The Answer, the whole album, on my iPod. It's just amazing. Loud, but amazing. With my music tastes that are so different from a lot of people, FFDP is a good way to show people how I'm not THAT old fashioned. Even if I di have a secong gen iPod nano, a Windows XP and 2000, a flip phone for a cell phone that I never use anyway, and I'm still listening to Wild Cherry.

Hey, dude. Just like I tell everybody else. You like what you like. haha And if it works it works.

I'll just get this out of the way:

Michael Jackson's Number Ones
the Hannah Montana soundtrack

Okay, lynch me.

Nah, it's OK. We all have different tastes of music. If it makes you feel any better, I fell into the Hannah Montana thing a couple of years ago. I was basically obsessed. For me, it was hell, but I guess it was just an embarrassing phase I just told the world about. As for MJ, hey, he was a great singer.

Same here im not afraid to admit but I give up when miley/hannah conterversories happen now anytime i heard anything about her It's just one more thing that i hate about her (no offense to billy ray cyrus/miley cyrus/hannah montana cyrus fans here)

 

[David24]

I'd say the best is either Taylor Swift or Eminem. Both are GREAT. I love the Relapse album. Love it. And Taylor Swift is great too. Love Story is a good song, the best one I think.

Another album that was released not too long ago was Jay-Z's Blueprint 3. That has to be up there too.

Especially when that post is in a sarcastic manner, just to prevent all those no-taste listeners into their fanboy/fangirl posting.

Seriously, Muse. Especially United States of Eurasia.

Yeah man; I love the Bad Company cover. Added that to my IPod a couple months back.

Good band. Far From Home is my personal favorite, though.
