My avatar is the vocalist of glam rock/brit pop band Suede (aka the London Suede in USA). They were once good before the guitarist left the band. Albums to hear: self titled debut and 'Dog Man Star.'

Lucky post, You could think of it as the biggest. The particle physics community is eagerly awaiting and I also enjoy it.

Progression by Failure really knocked me for a loop
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

My biggest discovery of 2009 was easily Phideaux. I don't think I've had a single band so dominate my musical universe since I first became a fan of Led Zeppelin. Chupacabras, Number 7 and Doomsday Afternoon are exquisite albums.

Boards Of Canada are simply outstanding, truly progressive electronic music of the very highest calibre.  


sounds very interesting.. and probably explains why they aren't listed here LOL

Well technically, I think they are ambient techno, but that doesn't stop them from being awesome.

On the IDM Appreciation Thread I was recommended a band by the name of Boards Of Canada and just a few months later I have their whole discography.  The saying "X band changed my life" is an oft-used phrase and probably over-used and sometimes not even true, but for me with Boards Of Canada they genuinely did.

funny... he might be my biggest discovery of a young 2010.  Funnily... we've had a couple of his albums. But I had never listened to them.... finally last week I (we?) did and I loved it.

Well 2010 hasn't been around long enough, so I'll go off of my biggest discoveries of last year. Transatlantic, never heard of them, though I've been a fan of Dream Theater and Marillion for a while, but never heard of Transatlantic and I now really enjoy all three of their albums. Through Transatlantic I discovered Spocks Beard and Flower Kings, both amazing, really digging Spock Beards Snow. I also really got into Between the Buried and Me at the end of the year, Colors and The Great Misdirect are some of my favorite albums of the past decade.

probably a toss up between Cabezas de Cera and Patrick Forgas/Forgas Band Phenomena (who had the #3 slot on my top albums of 2009)
