Your Top 5 Bands/Artists of 2009

[Bobbyjames]

who are your top 5 bands/artists of 2009? who have you really fallen in love with this year? they don't have to be "new bands" for 2009, just the bands/artists you have loved/listened to the most this year.

for me, it's quite hard to nail it down to a top 5, but right now I would say:

The Gaslight Anthem
Chuck Ragan
Frank Turner
Polar Bear Club
Manchester Orchestra

[c4rlsson]

Sum 41
Blink-182
Set Your Goals
New Found Glory
Escape the Fate

Hard to choose, but think thats it. At least if I check my last.fm ; )

Before anyone goes "Where's Sum 41, I only picked the bands that I got new albums for this year and I didn't buy "All The Good Shit" because it's a waste of money when they haven't even broken up or anything.

[Jeremy Kill]

The Gaslight Anthem
Frank Turner
+44
Green Day
Muse

There's a bunch more that would've made the cut like The Fratellis, Regina Spektor, Blink-182 and Rage Against the Machine.

I think he might have implied that as "Why the hell is Hey Monday on that list?"

[Bobbyjames]

to be honest, I'm quite surprised that Hey Monday is at the top of Boni's list!

[Jeremy Kill]

Maybe it's a guilty pleasure and Boni is just shamelessly putting it out there? Kudos to him if that's true, by the way.

[Boni]

Yeah, I only started listening to the band near the end of November. I heard about them from Kerrange and I they reminded me of Paramore just better and with a hotter front woman. I've been listening to the album non-stop on the train to work but yeah, I can see why people are wtf considering my mainly metalcore list of bands but I don't lie. Right now I'm really into Hey Monday but I don't consider it a guility plesure... That would be Will Smith!

And since it would take too much effort to figure out my top favourite bands of 2009 I decided to just for for the November/December period so maybe come next month I'll properly have a new top 5 list as it always changes. Just last month I was really into I Hate Next.

[Bass Cone]

1. The Mountain Goats <3
2. Andrew Jackson Jihad
3. Paul Baribeau
4. Sleater-Kinney
5. M. Ward or She & Him

It was a good year for my music taste

[Bobbyjames]

Will Smith should NEVER be a guitly pleasure. there is no shame at all bowing down to the genious of Will Smith.
