Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2009

Go Bat for Lashes! So glad that both Two Suns and "Daniel" made the cut. Sorry that Annie didn't have a better showing, though.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2009

Ok let's forget about that terrible year and this 100% indie top 10 and move on to the next stage (which may be at least 80 % indie).
You want my opinion ? That is just ridiculous.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2009

Not to be contrarian, but the 11-20 section for both albums and songs is better than 1-10, particularly on the albums side. The xx beating AC is a nice surprise though.

You got it. That's why we have to change the rules for the 90s poll. Take 15 albums and maybe establish quotas

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2009

Yeah, I would so love to see Fits and Actor in that top ten.

I'm surprised The XX beat out MPP for #1. That's one album whose appeal I just don't get, I find it generally mediocre. And I really, really tried to like it.

@Nicolas

My suggestion for the 90's poll was top 12 + highest non-Anglophone + top 2 not already in based on highest 3 votes.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2009

Bah, I had an extra numbered entry for Bear In Heaven's Wholehearted Mess. If it weren't there, Rain Machine's Give Blood would have been number 50.

Edit. OK I rechecked the results and looks like it's time for tiebreak again.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2009

Miguel
A clarification: Crescendo, by Penelope Trip, - the same as all the songs from their first two albums, "Politomanía" and "Usted morirá en su nave espacial" (You Will Die in Your Spaceship) - is not really sung in English, but in a kind of invented language that resembles English. Obviously, the singer was aware of his limitations.

Well, you're right, probably I should not have included Penelope Trip in my list because they did not sang in real English but in "watchu-wari", I mean, something that sounds like English but it's not. Let me say that many bands (not only in Spain) use this watchu-wari in the rehearsals to find the melody of a given song during the process of composition, later some lyrics that suits the melody (in English or Spanish) are added but Tito Pintado opted for not making a real lyric. Quite bizarre, isn't it?


Eligibility:
The songs voted by the last 12 voters rendered quite a lot of questionable dates of release (but none of them were above "Keep the Streets Empty for Me" or "Stillnes Is the Move" so this changes does not affect the tie-breaker now running in another thread):
- Fredo Viola - The Turn: the album version (the one voted by nicolas) was released as the opener of the album The Turn as "The Turn (A Pagan Lament)" on March 16, 2009 but it appeared on a different version on a previous EP, Red States on December 1, 2008 as "The Turn (Fink Remix)". You can confirm his dates on the news section of the Fredo Viola official page. So we have another case of a different version released the year before. Probably eligible, isn't it?
- Anthony Joseph & the Spasm Band - Véro: released opening the album Bird Head Son on January 13, 2009 but previously released as the main song of the EP La diablesse on July 2008.
- Martyn - Natural Selection: released as part of the album Great Lenghts on April 20, 2009 but previously released as the main song of the EP 12" on July 7, 2008, confirmed on two other web pages.
- The xx - VCR (Matthew Dear Remix): although the original version of "VCR" was released as part of the album xx on August 17, 2009, it seems that the remix by Matthew Dear was first released on early January, this seems to be confirmed by the Pitchfork review.
- Lee Fields & The Expressions - Money I$ King: I'm not sure about if it's the same version, but this song released as part of the album My World on June 2, 2009 was previously released as the B-side of the single These Moments in 2005. The only page that mention too this previous release is Wikipedia so I can't be absolutely sure.
- Metric - Help I'm Alive: it seems that this song, released as first single from their album "Fantasies" was released in Canada on December 23, 2008 and later on the US on January 1, 2009. The only source that date it like that is Wikipedia, so probably we should consider it 2009. Moreover only a week before 2009 and only in Canada is going to far in my (our) nerdism. Or not?
- The Bad Plus joined by Wendy Lewis - Barracuda: part of the album For All I Care released in Europe on October 13, 2008 and in the US on February 3, 2009. The official MySpace page seems to confirm this October 2008 release.
- Passion Pit - Sleepyhead: released as part of the album Manners on May 18, 2009 but previously released as their first single on September 8, 2008 and also on their EP Chunk of Change, double checked on their official page.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2009

Ordering the albums for the 00s poll I realized that 2009 was the year with less degree of personal agreement with the rest of the Forum (7 albums of the Top 10 were not on my Top 20), while during the rest of the decade I had a high level of correlation.
Albums on the global Top 10 that were not on my Top 20s:
2000: 4
2001: 0
2002: 2
2003: 1
2004: 3
2005: 4
2006: 3
2007: 2
2008: 3
2009: 7
I would not dare to say that 2009 was a bad year for music (I really like the albums on my Top 20) but I definitely don't like the trendy sounds of that year, a quite indigestible mélange of annoying rhythms, enervating synths and unappealing voices, at least to my ears.
