2009 Top Five - Albums
Music soothes me, inspires me, makes me happy, makes me sad but my iPod is never too far away from my ears. These were my Top Five favourite albums from 2009:
1. White Lies - To Lose My Life
Stunning debut album from the Ealing boys.
2. Doves - Kingdom of Rust
It took almost four years for this album to come out after the wonderful Some Cities. It was well worth waiting for.
3. La Roux - La Roux
Takes me back to my wedge in the 80's. Upbeat synth dance music from Flock of Seagulls reincarnate.
4. Jack Penate - Everything is new
This soulful collection of songs by the Blackheath born Charlton fan grew on me.
5. The Temper Trap - Conditions
This Aussie band first came to my attention when some of their songs were being used as backing tracks for various television shows and commercials. Plenty of singalongs on this album.
Honourable mentions to: Florence & the Machine - Lungs; The Big Pink - A Brief History Of Love; Andrea Bocelli - My Christmas (Album). ¶ 18:35
