La Roux

Favourite Track:
Tigerlily
Maybe you have to adore 80s synthpop as much as me to fully appreciate this album but GOD it's an 80s revival masterpiece, even thought it took about 6 listens to realise that. I give the first 6 tracks all 100/5 stars and the last 6 5/5. Who cares if Elly is a cunt?
La Roux is my ultimate favourite of the year which is why it's placed #1st, the rest of this list is in alaphabetical order by artist (according to my WMP 2009 list)
Air -
Love 2

Favourite Track:
So Light Is Her Footfall
It reminds me of Moon Safari/The Virgin Suicides Air which is great, tons of cute heavily accented English in it which I also adore. Perfect album for falling to sleep to as per usual with Air.
Bat for Lashes -
Two Suns

Favourite Track:
Daniel
Not as good as Kate Bush
Breathe Carolina -
Hello Fascination

Favourite Track:
I'm The Type Of Person To Take It Personal
So I hate everything about emo/screamo vocals but the music's so good I'll let it slip; there's only a tiny amount of screaming anyway and it doesn't bother me
Frankmusik -
Complete Me

Favourite Track:
When You're Around
His lisp is adorable really omg. It's a shame the best song on the album (by far) is a cover, kind of.
Lady GaGa -
The Fame Monster

Favourite Tracks:
Bad Romance,
Alejandro
I used to be a h8a. I saw the errors of my ways when the single of the year was released.
Brown Eyes is 100 times better than Speechless though FYI.
Lily Allen -
It's Not Me, It's You

Favourite Track:
Kabul Shit
Every song is good except for Who'd Have Known

Hands

Favourite Track:
Stuck On Repeat
It's an all killer no filler album but her voice is grating
Madonna -
Celebration

Favourite Track:

Humanizer

Favourite Track:
Kiss Me Now
Thank god they've finally moved on from that god awful rock sound.
Sexy electronic album with some eurobeat and 90s inspired toons
Muse -
The Resistance

Favourite Track:
MK Ultra
This album is actually really really really terrible for a Muse album, it doesn't stand up to anything that came before it even slightly. MUSE ARE AN AMAZING BAND THOUGH SO OBVIOUSLY THAT MEANS IT'S ATLEAST DECENT A DECENT ALBUM. I absolutely love 5 of the 11 tracks, the other 6 are terribly boring.

PAST<FUTURE

Favourite Track:
FAST CAR
There is only 2 tracks I'm not fond of (FIRST TIMER & Shut Up) but the rest is damn good and it ranks my #3 Japanese album of the year along with NEXT LEVEL

三文ゴシップ

Favourite Track:
尖った手口
#1 Japanese album of the year
If you don't already listen to Shiina Ringo (you're wasting your ability to hear) then this is a great starting point because it's more accessible than her older albums. Not anyway near as good as SS or KZK though, 2 of my favourite albums ever - but it's impossible for any albums to ever top them for me probably..
浜崎あゆみ -
NEXT LEVEL

Favourite Track:
Sparkle
I have high expectations for Ayu albums so I refer to this as awful all the time but after quite a few listens it's not THAT bad compared to most other J-Pop - I don't really hate any of the songs on it so it ranks #3 along with PAST<FUTURE for Japanese album of the year. Still her worst album.

君がいるから

Favourite Track:
君がいるから
Incredible song made to be the theme song for Final Fantasy XIII yet it's being replaced for the European/American release by none other than Leona Lewis?! My Hands by Leona is a great song but this is infinitely better. HOPEFULLY My Hands will be replacing the insert song Eternal Love and not 君がいるから.
