Please post below your favourite five albums released in 2009! (You may post as long a list as you like but only the top 5 will be used). In two weeks time - that's Wednesday the 20th - I will compile a list of your favourites, with your first choice receiving 5 points, second choice 4 points etc. If you really don't want to put them in order I'll give each of your five 3 points.

Fairly standard rules for eligability - UK physical release date must have been in 2009, no reissues or best-of compilations. Compilations of new material will be allowed.

I gather that this thread is usually done by a chap called JohnM, but he's not done one yet. Hope no-one is offended by me taking over spreadsheet duties.

These are my five,

1. Atlas Sound - Logos
2. Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca
3. Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest
4. Gentle Friendly - Ride Slow
5. Tune-Yards - Bird Brains
