Top Five Records of 2009
Trends? Movements? Big thoughts on music in 2009? Uhh … Lots of over-hyped mediocrity. Here are 5 glorious exceptions.
1. “Bitte Orca”(The Dirty Projectors)
2. “Album” (Girls)
The most influential record of the ’00s wasn’t “Kid A,” “The College Dropout,” or “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot” — it was a 43-year-old Beach Boys album called “Pet Sounds,” whose joyful SoCal pop and orchestral melancholy were to indie rock what garage punk was to alternative and grunge.
