I'd love to. I'd say deaths_friend (dudeIforgotyourname) listens to triple J way more than I do. I follow the UK indie scene with intent.

You should know not to drop that BEP shit, Briggs. But, since I know you love In Ghost Colours it's all good. A quality album.

Woo! So cryptic, too.

Don't let it get too out of hand though..

Is the song downloadable yet?

As BAD???? Bryce... come on! I just have an addiction to buying CDs. It's better than having an addition to crack, right?

6. Drugs

And genuinely enjoy? Not all of them, of course, thats why I have a "top #" and some will miss out! Hence, the ones that miss out were less enjoyable. Isn't that how it works?

Me? If so... I have listened to about 90 albums this year in their entirety. I give them enough listens to work out whether they are decent enough. There are a few lately released that I am still listening to more to work out if they are growing on me or not, that's why my official list is taking forever to make.

Nah, it just redirects you to Guy's wiki page.

I'd say Radiohead do have talent, true. As for the Muse album, it's not amazing, it has decent songs, but I think they have failed in an attempt to produce something 'original' but daring. Songs either sound too 'pop' or just ridiculous (exogenesis and Guiding Light).. I like the album, but I just think it could have done much better. For that it is overrated. Matt Bellamy's talent seemed to emanate a lot more prior to this LP.

Hey crazies, Why isn't there a Wikipedia page for the band? Want one?

Great pick up. Have been aware of them throughout the year. They have an EP out, and it's decent. Seen them live, too and they sound more amazing. Blood is a standout track, they could have the potential to produce an amazing debut album. They're also playing a lot of shows and festivals in Australia this summer. And they are from a place called Townsville, in Queensland. Pretty good for a small town band!

Or, Coldplay could be like Animal Collective if the "Will Champion Seal of Disapproval" was lifted, perhaps!

Yeah, I agree first two songs are good. What Would I Want? Sky is pretty much My Girls II. And considering 'My girls' was the best song of 2009, then this song is good too!

Julie, you are the female me.

Lol I gave my top 5 or so, but I haven't even finished my *difinitive* list... I'm planning to do a proper job of it, too. Plus, I have listened to about 90 albums this year it is kind of overwhelming. So I will be doing my own top 50 eventually.

Good to see the Aussie contingent increase!

I'm getting sick of polls.

Nostalgia? I think EOTS deserved their awards, and thank god they walked away with more than MAUBOY.

Arctic Monkeys - Humbug Florence And The Machine - Lungs Passion Pit - Manners Doves - Kingdom Of Rust White Lies - To Lose My Life... Kasabian - West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix Well, a rough guess.

Well, for triple J album of the yar I would like to see Sarah Blasko take it out. I was impressed that she won the Aria for best Female Artist, and I think she deserves it. Anyone can win it except for Karnivool and Hilltop Hoods, for the love of god please not them! And SO disappointed Temper Trap walked away with nothing last night. RAGE! Oh, and Emma: new evermore is a compilation, isn't it?

Zing!

My tip for Triple J's album of the year? or the Aria album of the year?
