Another vote for JZ - Empire State Of Mind, bought the album on the strength of it. Not really my bag but I'll perservere withi it in the autochager.

3 songs remind me of summer in Cornwall when democracy dictated, I had the radio on for a change.

The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposion Friendly Fires - Kiss Of Life Bloc Party - One More Chance

Liked Lili's The Fear too.

1. The Veronicas - Untouched 2. Jay Z - Empire State Of Mind 3. Ellie Goulding - Under The Sheets 4. Lady GaGa -Paparrazzi 5. Little Boots - New In Town

  1. Agreed, a right pair o' minxes in that video....

As for number 5. that is my least favourite on the LB album - doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the mood...

Any old ravers recognise the 'Hoover Techno' anthem sampled in Lady GaGa's 'Bad Romance' track (on Youtube above)?

"Guerilla" because they didn't ask anyone's permission and the people in it didn't know they were going to be filmed until they saw the camera. All reactions are genuine. :)

"Sushi" because it was shot by putting the camera on the conveyor belt of a sushi bar.

Hope that explains it! :wink:

Thanks! :) Actually, blame my local radio station. They are now accepting votes for the top songs of 2009, and the ones I voted for here are the same ones I voted for from their list of songs. I just mindlessly copied & pasted them without thinking of when they really came out. And, I can't believe I forgot Spiralling (Keane) and Zero (Yeah Yeah Yeahs). Oh, wait, Keane is 2008, too. Well, Drown in the Now (Crystal Method), Jetstream (Doves), and Fire (Kasabian) belong on the top 10. So, they can replace the ones I voted for that aren't really 2009 releases. :thumb:

Empire of the Sun - We are the People

know it was technically released as a single in 2009, but it's from a 2008 album

surely this thread should be rtacks of 2009 & not singles now that any single track can be purchased individually?

not really done a top tracks from last year, but am liking a lot of debaser's list above

Saw the Raveonettes in London (Islington academy) just before Xmas. They sure play their guitars loud. On the plus side, They Rock! On the not-so-plus-side, the splendid vocal harmonies from both singers tend to get drowned out. Worth seeing though.
