ROLLING STONE'S TOP LISTS FOR 2009...AND THE DECADE...
Top 25 albums of 2009, according to Rolling Stone Magazine.
#5
Ex-nihilists follow up American Idiot with a rock opera about two punk lovers — and revitalize the idea of big-deal rockers actually saying something about the world.
#4
Hip-hop almost took 2009 off, so it was great to hear some of Hova's cleverest braggadocio ever, over stunningly good beats from rich friends like Kanye West.
#3
The wholesome French version of the Strokes hit on an exuberant mix of guitar rock and electronics, killing it on the unstoppable "1901" and "Lisztomania," the catchiest song ever about Franz Liszt.
#2
A wildly baroque set as musically far-reaching as The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle: decked-out folk and rock struggling with the big stuff — hard work, love and death — and having a great time along the way.
#1 U2
Aiming for rock glory, Bono, Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. explore dark places ("Moment of Surrender"), find modern twists on their classic anthems ("Magnificent") and uncover blindinglight soul ("Breathe"). The result was an album with a sense of drama that no one could match all year — more proof that a band that isn't busy being born is busy dying.
Click here to see the rest of the list starting with #25. I agree with maybe Jay-Z and Phoenix but the rest of the list, eh. The top 25 has some much better music in it, including Monsters of Folk, Bat for Lashes, Mos Def, Grizzly Bear and Franz Ferdinand, so check it.
