Famous Old Painter Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 1. Union - The Boxer Rebellion 2. To Lose My Life - White Lies 3. Merriweather Post Pavilion - Animal Collective 4. Invaders Must Die - The Prodigy 5. Battle For The Sun - Placebo Cant really be bothered doing the others. I haven't listened to much Australian music this year (though there are promising releases coming out) and there are far too many brilliant songs to go through.

The Gutless Wonder Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 1 - Journal For Plague Lovers - Manic Street Preachers 2 - Kingdom Of Rust - Doves To be honest I haven't really bought many new albums at all this year. There's a couple that I want to get but haven't got round to it. Nothing comes close to Journal for me at the moment though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Song for B-Fictionist 6. Blindness-Metric 7. Southern Point-Grizzly Bear 8. I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight-U2 9. All We Ask-Grizzly Bear 10. Noisy Birds-Fictionist I know it's the same bands, but I haven't really listened to many new albums for this year yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 alot of love for U2. ............. i know that not everyone listens to as much music as i (and some people on this forum) do. but i cant help but feel that the fact that neither coldplay nor radiohead have released an album this year and muse aren't releasing until september has something to do with everyone listening to fewer albums. have some people taken a little break from music this year? or is June a little early to start choosing the best albums from this year??
