Bad 2009 music begins and ends with Use Somebody. Not only is it a terrible song but it seems to be decided that it needs to be played every 8 to 10 seconds.

One of my favourite records of the year is ^ Matthew Good's Vancouver. I saw him here in Saskatchewan two weeks ago. Incredible voice. His voice filled the entire theatre, it was mindblowing. Just saw him two nights ago in North Bay, just incredible. Matt's far and away my favourite artist so it was a treat to get to see him again.

To all of you who disagree with number 5, here's my position. I respect your opinions and if you like indie folk music then more power to you, don't let me stop you. I won't resort (or at least try not to resort) to cheap heat in my explanation of why I hate it. Here goes nothing.
Across the board, every single band I've heard from this genre is the very definition of the term "hipster" and in my experience that means there is a severe lack of authenticity. These bands are tailor made for that crowd, a group of people who's number one priority is convincing everyone that they're deep and passionate without actually being either one. And it doesn't help that practically every single song, not one or two, all of them, are played on out of tune guitars and sung with artificial rasps in their voices with all the mistakes and flub ups included in the recording because it's "real". And lyrically, they all follow the same pattern:
"She was the princess of Akron, Ohio, She went to Calfornia when I was just seventeen. And I'm a gonna find her and marry her With nothing but 30 dollars in my wallet and this ol' beat up guitar I got Jesus on my side and everything's gonna be all right Aw yeah."
You can say that metal, punk, hip hop, and other music forms rely on cliches and you'd be right. But I can handle those cliches, I can't handle indie folk cliches. It makes me groan audibly and roll my eyes.
Again, I'm not trying to bash your musical taste (too late), just trying to give my side of the argument. Don't take it to heart.

I'm sorry man, but it seems you don't have any idea of indie music if this is what you think, if you only think it's played on out of tune guitars. (I urge you to listen to M Ward, who does not sing in a faux-raspy voice and is quite the prolific guitarist) I gave you several albums released this year and none of them are played on out of tune guitars. Check them out if you don't believe me. Secondly, the lyrics? Here's an example from one of my favourite tunes of the year; Nothing like what you wrote I'm afraid. Stereotyping something is fine and occasionally humorous if it's accurate, your stereotyping however is so far off the mark. Don't take it to heart obviously, this is just my rebuttal.

No hatred for Nickelback this time around? Man, their stuff sucks. It's nothing but generic butt rock and it's horrific butt rock at that. Plus, it doesn't help that my mom thinks they are awesome. But then again, this is the same woman that liked Billy RAy Cyrus and Creed.

When someone says "folk music" I always think of Woody Guthrie, early Dylan, Utah Phillips, David Rovics etc.
I know what is meant by indie-folk of course but I know next to nothing about that genre.

While I don't disagree with what's been posted so far, I gotta say, anything put out by Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Bros. or Nickelback has to top any list of 'Worst of".

4. "Coaster" by NOFX NOFX has proven they are in fact one of the premier punk bands by showing zero artistic growth through out their career. Fat Mike, however, is the tipping point as he is not as clever as he thinks he is and his lame jokes become grating in short time. Worst song: "Creeping Out Sara", an obviously desperate stab at staying relevant by name dropping the it band of the moment. And no, it's not funny. 3. "Fame, Fortune, and Fornication" by Reel Big Fish A more fitting name would be "Beating A Dead Horse". RBF had a couple of hits by playing ska versions of well known tunes, and that was fine. Then they kept doing it, and doing it, and doing it until it wasn't fun anymore. The culmination was this half assed covers album which broadcast to the world that RBF's career is pretty much over. Worst song: "Won't Back Down". If you're wondering how Tom Petty translates to ska, here's your answer: it doesn't. I don't necessarily like NOFX, but I do like Fat Mike's other band, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. I heard some NOFX and didn't really like em. Odd. As for RBF, I like em. Wouldn't really say they're the best band going, though, either.

Chuck Ragan has been a proponent of blue grass and folk for years, it isn't hipster, it is authentic. The dude puts his heart and soul in to it. He has a record label and a tour, Revival Road, which the past 2 years running has been one of the best live shows around. It is back porch style hoedown, with friends. The guy is all for it.
