Looking back at all the amazing releases throughout 2009, it proved to be a monumental task in trimming it all down to a mere top 10.
There was no hard and fast criteria on how I got to these 10 gems, but out of pure enjoyment and repeat playability throughout the course of the year – this lot stood out like the proverbial.
It is a bit of an eclectic mix. Punk, Alt, Metal, Electronica and Rock. Why limit yourself to one genre when there are so many wonderful flavours out there huh?
So without further delay, here are my top 10 albums of 2009.

I had all but forgotten about Prodigy. Their last album – ‘Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned’ – was several years ago and it was an album, that by their lofty standards – was a little on the disappointing side. To be perfectly honest, the latest album ‘Invaders Must Die’ totally crept up on me and I wasn’t expecting much. In actual fact, I thought the old Prodigy had all but run their race.
‘Invaders Must Die’ is the Prodigy’s fifth album and the first to feature the classic Prodigy line-up of Liam Howlett, Keith Flint and Maxim Reality since 1997′s brilliant ‘The Fat Of The Land’. And that’s not the first classic thing one notices about this fine slab of plastic! This is such a welcome return to form and brilliant old-school Prodigy stylings! This thing reeks of attitude, spunk and raw electrical, technical power and balls! This is everything that is so damn cool about the Prodigy and will surely rank as one of the finest albums for the year. Easy!
Strong throughout it’s 11 tracks, the album just gets better and better from the halfway point through to the end. Melodic, intense, exciting, raw and indeed energetic – it exudes a certain attitude and flair that most harder-edged acts can only begin to dream of.
Smack it up bitches! A fucking classic!
