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

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 ; )

Oasis
The Beatles
Dead By April
Green Day
The Midway State

Dropkick Murphys
Rise Against
Less Than Jake
The Gaslight Anthem
Bad Religion

Gob
Sum41
blink-182
Weezer
Treble Charger

1. Green Day
2. The Ataris
3. Sum 41
4. Billy Talent
5. Avenged Sevenfold

1. Hey Monday
2. A Day To Remember
3. Skillet
4. Lamb of God
5. As I Lay Dying

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.

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?"

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

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.

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.

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

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

Destry
Thrice
The Smiths
Nick Cave & Warren Ellis
