Another year is coming to an end. For me personally 2009 was a lot weaker than 2008 in terms of quality music. But there were still a few gems of course, here's my top ten of best songs released in 2009:

#1 Zu - Obsidian
+ Show Spoiler +
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHpeeYiP3BY

The best song from the best album of 2009 in my opinion. Zu is just mindblowing, absolutely no contest for #1.

#2 2NE1 - I don't care
+ Show Spoiler +
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdciKPEDnKI

Despite being kpop, this song is still great. Listened to it all summer, it's just so simple, catchy and fun (and no autotune thank god). I wish more kpop songs were like this.

#3 Ebony Bones! - Guess we'll always have NY
+ Show Spoiler +
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHstmL66-Jk

The whole album is great, everyone should listen to it. I think this the first song in history with the "we will rock you" beat that doesn't suck (quite the opposite!).

#4 Empire of the Sun - Walking on a Dream
+ Show Spoiler +
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGUU7CiK7YU

I really don't know why I like this song, but it's addicting. Very laid back and the guy has such a cool voice.

#5 Atlas Sound - Shelia
+ Show Spoiler +
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zg1I0FOtE4c

I wouldn't recommend the whole album, but Shelia and Walkabout are amazing songs. I dig the lo-fi sound of the production.

#6 Telefon Tel Aviv - Birds
+ Show Spoiler +
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jGUH9Z0kNU

Electro pop at it's best.

#7 Passionpit - Sleepyhead
+ Show Spoiler +
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bfseWNmlds

Very catchy and original!

#8 Bibio - Ambivalence Avenue
+ Show Spoiler +
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgGsnYpT3zg

I recommend the whole album. They have this folky sound even though it's not folk music. Very unique and cool.

#9 Zombie Nation - Worth it part 1
+ Show Spoiler +
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNfm9kAcJEE

Simple but effective. Zombie Nation!

#10 The Horrors - New Ice Age
+ Show Spoiler +
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19Kr6hE3NWA

One of the best albums of 2009. Dissonance has never sounded so good.


Post your top tens!

I never keep track on when songs are released, so I'll just name the entire album "Liebe Ist Für Alle Da" by Rammstein. Only one that I'm positive it's from 2009
Gravity is just a theory anyway.

Some great tracks here, I really loved that Telefon Tel Aviv album, and Shelia is such a fun sing-along song…

I'll check out some of this other stuff!

Devin Townsends two new albums were really good. Can't really make a top ten though since i don't have any clear favourites except for Supercrush! off the Addicted album.

I found some nice songs in here. Can't say I liked them all, but I did like some, and they were good.

PP put it out again on Manners which came out this year. Acceptable imo.

And I'm going to have to listen more to this list. Empire of the Sun though, good album but was it really that great?

And I said in my Music 2009 Blog that I thought 2009 was the strongest year of music I've seen in a long time. Last year really didn't do anything for me, but I guess it was a different year across different genres.

The LoveLikeFire song is the weakest imo, can't really connect with that. Oh yeah and Grizzly Bear, I don't understand why they got so much praise, am I the only one who doesn't get them? D:

This thread and I do not share the same taste in music. But it is really interesting for me to know that these songs to some of you guys bring out the same emotional feelings that my favorite songs do for me.
