Daniel’s Top Ten Albums Of 2009

 

1. Dream Theater*****black clouds and silver linings

2. Between the buried and me*****the great misdirect

3. Transatlantic*****The whirlwind

4. Muse*****The resistance

5. Dave matthews band*****Big whiskey and the groogrux king

6. U2*****No line on the horizon

7. Devin townsend*****Ki

8. Floodline*****Beneath the waves

9. Alice in chains*****Black gives way to blue

10. Thornley*****Tiny pictures

 

There was a great amount of great music from great bands and artists this year. It was hard to narrow it down to 10, but personally these are some of the best I think that came out of 2009. Here are a few B-dass albums of 2009 that didn’t make it in my top ten.

Three---Revisions

Porcupine tree----The incident

Anneke van Giersbergen---pure air

Beardfish---Destined solitaire

Cynic---traced in air

Depeche mode---Sounds of the universe

Devin townsend project---addicted

An endless sporadic---

Les claypool---Of Fungi and Foe

Pain of salvation---linoleum

Riverside---Anno Domini High Definition

Scar symmetry---dark matter dimensions

The Tangent---Down and out in paris and London

Tori amos---Midwinter graces

 

 

I love prog!!!!!
