Good lord, we actually have an album in common on our ‘best of year’ list , but again you have a desperate lack of real ball breaking head pounding earth shaking gut busting heavy metal.

1) Black Holes & Revelations - Muse
All the self restraint of Pink Floyd on an unlimited budget.

2) Gypsy Punk Underdog World Strike - Gogol Bordello
Paaaarty!

3) Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not - Arctic Monkeys
Britain’s best punk band ?

4) Costello Music - The Fratellis
The very essence of infectious pop-rock.

5) Blood Mountain - Mastodon
The kings of sludge metal give it some woaaaaargh!

6) Birthing The Giant - Cancer Bats
Its like a gonzo cross of Black Sabbath and Lynyrd Skynyrd with a dollop of Sepultura.

7) Valor Del Corazon - Ginger
So it’s Wildhearts lite.

8) A Matter Of Life And Death - Iron Maiden
The oldest metalheads in town put out a decent album.

9) Care In The Community - Babar Luck
Brit Asian new wave indy folk punk whatever.

10) Liberation Transmission - Lostprophets
The boyos hit the big time.

Ghostface Killah passed me by, largely because of the crappy sleeve I think, and I know nowt about Lila Downs. Personally I just love that Brightblack Morning Light album, even if they are hippies that live in a tent (but only in the summer. When it gets chilly they move in to a drum over a garage). I just admire people who think 'now, can the horn section come in at 7 minutes fifty seconds?'. I mean, did they forget they were there? Or did they turn up late? Best singles?- The View 'Wasted Little DJs', Jarvis Cocker's 'Running The World' and Hot Chip 'Boy From School' for me.

A big "huh?" for the Flaming Lips. (Gave it yet another go this week. Still a nope from me.) And I really must, must give a listen to Joanna Newsom, Hold Steady, Midlake and the new Yo La Tengo.
