Hedley's Dave Rosin's Top Five Albums Of 2009

1. DINOSAUR JR Farm Not a single programmed handclap or 808 made its way into this record. That's right, kids: break out your fuzz and get ready to rock hard while staring at your shoes. This album is raw, lonesome and noisy. 2. KID CUDI Man On The Moon: The End Of Day 3. SAID THE WHALE Islands Disappear 4. THE CRIBS Ignore The Ignorant 5. THE...

D-Sisive's Top Five Albums Of 2009

1. DEAD MAN'S BONES Dead Man's Bones I worship Dead Man's Bones. Dead Man's Bones is perfect. The opening of "Werewolf Heart" makes me want to cry every time I hear it. I sincerely apologize to Mr. Gosling and Mr. Shields for a) sampling "Buried In Water" without permission, and b) for everything else I plan on ripping off...

LIGHTS' Top Five Albums Of 2009

1. YEAH YEAH YEAHS It's Blitz! I've never been a huge fan of this band until this record came out. During our first tour in the U.K., our front of house guy out there would play "Heads Will Roll" every day while he was setting up the board.

Cancer Bats Liam Cormier's Top Five Albums Of 2009

1. MASTODON Crack The Skye This is my number one choice for record of the year because I've not been able to stop listening to this since it came out. The whole album is a huge monster slab of progressive metal, with each band member pushing themselves to the outer limits of technical domination. Shit is awesome. Mastodon stepped up to the plate...

Jets Overhead Luke Renshaw's Top Five Albums Of 2009

1. THE BEATLES Rubber Soul [remastered] I'm an absolute Beatles freak, and my favourite album is usually a reflection of how I'm feeling in that particular time period. So this year (and out of all the remastered Beatles albums), I'm feeling a tiny bit psychedelic, but I'm still feeling very true to my pop sensibility. It's a bit of a trip to...

Dead And Divine's Top Five Albums Of 2009

These submissions definitely reflect what our band — as individuals and together — have been listening to the most. —Chris LeMasters, D&D 1. CONVERGE Axe To Fall Come on. It's Converge.
