    Album - Made in the Dark by Hot Chip. Certainly gets played most by me driving into work, which is when I get to listen to most work.

    Don't really have a favourite single.

    Album: Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Cardinology
    Single: The Infadels' - Make Mistakes, really did it for me.

    You know you're poor when you've bought less than 2 albums in a year!

    The Wiggles – Where's Jeff?

    Yes, poignant lyrics and some awesome guitar riffs.

    Congrats on becoming a parent.

    I'm not a fanboy (honest) but my fave album of the year is Spiritualized's 'Songs in A&E'

    Gonna have to have a think about track, though....

    After reading this thread last night it reminded me I had some CDs to buy people for xmas. But I ended up buying the Elbow album for myself, and more beside. I'm hoping Seasick Steve is particularly good.

    Metallica - Death Magnetic

    The FutureHeads - The Beginning of The Twist

    They may write some cracking kids songs but there's something quite sinister about The Wiggles don't you think??
    All my life I've wanted to be someone; I guess I should have been more specific.

    Yes, they say if you play the Wiggles 'Where's Jeff' backwards,
    you can here the band chant:

    "The CIA took Jeff
    Extraordinary Rendition
    The CIA took Jeff
    etc.

    Scary stuff :shock:

    Can't pick out one so...

    Portishead : Third
    Zomby : Where were u in 92?
    Flying Lotus : Los Angeles
    Hercules and the Love Affair : Hercules and the Love Affair
    Mogwai : Hawk is Howling

    Carl Craig & Moritz Von Oswald - Recomposed Vol. 3

    Tracks I've liked most of the Hudson Mohawke (Hud Mo) output but aside from that can't pick out anything.

    Er, there was a Bob Dylan album released this year. So, it has to be Tell Tale Signs by Bob Dylan.

    For me it has to be Mogwai's the Hawk is Howling for best album. Visceral noise! My favourite track Exploded View by Death Vessel.

    Using the statistician's dream that is LastFM, my favourite track of the year is officially Yes I Am by pg.lost - check it out for yourself

    Worth a listen for anyone who's listed Mogwai as a fave. I'm a sucker for the sweeping and soaringness of this type of post-rock.

    Favourite album? A toss up between Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust by Sigur Ros or 13 Blues for Thirteen Moons by A Silver Mt. Zion. Probably Sigur Ros because I saw them live too and they were superb.

    Lily Allen - Smile.

    Best album of '09 will be her new one. It sounds outstanding. The fact she is outstandingly attractive is inconsiquential. :oops:

    Seriously it is a great album.
