 So ... what did everyone choose for their album of 2009?

Nothing I heard came anywhere close to my early contender of Van the man's Astral Weeks Live at the Hollywood Bowl, but I wasn't really expecting anything to approach that astonishing disc for intensity, excitement & spiritual nourishment!

Having just heard some thought-provoking and some extremely beautiful extracts from Sade's first album in ten years - Soldier of Love - I think it may well be a contender for my album of 2010, but I am not making any predictions this time. After all, we may get a new Beth masterpiece!

:)

 Tough call between Dylan, Pearl Jam, & Muse for me.

 PJ and John Parish - A woman walked by was good, Mumford and Sons has 3-4 good tracks, Cold War Kids was interesting, The XX was excellent, but the album for me was Florence and the Machine. (boring choice, I know)

Ever notice these days how Courtney Love looks worse than Kurt Cobain?

 Not Heard Lungs yet and TBH not really bought much new music either, so I'm keeping schtum on this.

i suppose Beth Live at the Pigalle doesn't really count does it?

 2010's album is going to be Storoway's year, mark my words.

They released a song called Zorbing, as well as another itunes single last year, and didn't have a record deal. They had a pretty big tent at Glastonbury, and they have literally just got signed to an independent label.

Check them out:
(particularly Zorbing)

I also predict big things for Maeve O'Boyle, who is your Amy MacDonald (who also has an album in April) or KT Tunstall alternative, or Lucas Feeney, who I read about in the Guardian, and got a free single from.

2010 is exciting for British music!

The beauty is, if any of these hits it big, I will look like a genius :D

 Okay, also looked up that Stornoway single, and is it just me, or do they kind of sound like an indie-rock version of James? Singer sounds a LOT like Tim Booth, methinks.

 Yeah, actually, they do.

But they are more like Mumford and Sons.
