Couldn't possibly disagree more with number two on your list. But I guess that's to be expected, as I'm quite the Max Bemis fanboy. Different strokes for different folks I suppose. On the other hand, Brokencyde is an absolute sonic abomination, unfit to be listened to by the lowest of scum on the planet.

Oh dear god. I hadn't even heard that until now...but just...my head. Ow. Hell, I'm with the guy from the first page, name me something that's GOOD from 2009. Language! Did you go to the Cursive/POS tour? Holy crap baskets what a tour. POS is such a nice dude and talented too, and Cursive, well I have a hetero-man-song writer crush. For other great albums this year, The Decemberists and Thrice put out fantastic records.

I'm just going to toss the Silvesun Pickups "Swoon" album out there to be included in the good pile for 2009. It wasn't epic, and I'm already looking forward to their next offering, but it sufficed for me.

As far as bad goes, 50 Cent - Before I Self Destruct was pretty bad....hell I didn't even know it was out for over a week until I watched 106 & Park for a little bit this week....

In a year full of Lady Gaga and Kings Of Leon wouldn't it be alot faster to discuss whats good this year? I'd say a good 95% of this years music has been total crap. I'd be hard-pressed to disagree with this opinion, that's for sure.

Brand New's new record is f***ing great. I'm gonna have to give it another spin soon, I loved it. Old Crows/Young Cardinals is great too...though I still don't like it nearly as much as their earlier stuff. I think it has a lot to do with George's screaming. I know it's not really his fault that it's gotten deeper and more guttural, but I still don't like it as much.

I don't mind Thrice either but they are sometimes hit and miss with me. Also,I will also agree that Brand New's new album is tremendous. I like it a lot. That is all I have to add really.

Another few records this year that were brilliant; Jay-Z - The Blueprint III [d/quote] I have to disagree. While you may like some of the more techno-oriented tracks, Jay-Z just got really lazy on this record. Sure, I'm not really looking for him to say something important, but "Venus vs. Mars" was one of the most tediously bad records of the year.

As far as good music from this year goes, I have to mention Camera Obscura. While "My Maudlin Career" (their new album) isn't as quite as good as "Let's Get Out of This Country" (their last album), it's still a damn fine pop* album. They also put on a great live show. Their trumpet/percussion guy is truly something else.
*When I say "pop," I'm talking more mid-sixties British Invasion and Motown, not Lady Gaga or Miley Cyrus.
Oh... And the OP receives bonus points for name dropping Tom Lehrer. Satirist, mathematician and (reportedly) the inventor of the modern Jello shot, Tom Lehrer is truly a genius.

Andrew WK had 2 albums this year? I had no idea. I'm out of the loop I guess. And I'm sure I'll be mocked and booed til Wrestlecraps collective throats are sore but I think this years best album was Carver City by CKY.

Well... one was a solo piano album the other was covers from the Gundam tv show. Its okay to be out of the loop.
